Abstract
An image processing apparatus for extracting the specified objects has a background image extract unit for extracting a background; a first average background extract unit which extracts an image that includes a plurality of stationary and moving objects each having a speed not higher than a predetermined first speed and also the background; a second average background extract unit which extracts an image that includes the stationary and moving objects each having a speed not higher than a predetermined second speed and also the background; a first difference-calculation processing unit which calculates a difference between an output from the background image extract unit and an output from the first average background extract unit as a first speed image; a second difference-calculation processing unit which calculates a difference value between two outputs from the first and second average background extract units as a second speed image; and a third difference-calculation processing unit which calculates a difference value between an original image and either one of outputs from the first and second average background extract units as a third speed image.
