Abstract
An image detection method for detecting a target image from an image of an object having a band-like pattern extending along a predetermined direction, the target image containing at least part of the band-like pattern, the method includes: storing at least part of the image of the object as image data; detecting a first partial image from the stored image data based on a first template containing a first band-like template pattern that extends along the predetermined direction, the first partial image being an image of a first partial region containing substantially the same pattern as the first band-like template pattern; and detecting a second partial image, as the target image, in a region extending from the first partial region along the predetermined direction based on the target image containing the at least part of the band-like pattern, the second partial image being an image of a second partial region containing substantially the same pattern as that of the target image.
