Abstract
An image processor includes memory configured to store the shape of an object, extracting circuitry configured to extract a second image of a target range from a first image of the object, distance detecting circuitry configured to process the second image to detect distances from at least three parts projected within the target range to the camera, plane estimating circuitry configured to estimate a plane projected within the target range using the distances based on the at least three parts, angle detecting circuitry configured to detect an angle of the plane with respect to an optical axis of the camera, contour estimating circuitry configured to estimate, based on the shape of the object and the angle of the plane, a contour of the object projected on the first image, and identifying circuitry configured to identify the object on the first image based on the contour.
