Abstract
An image processing technology for displaying a real object and a virtual object associated with each other is provided. An image analysis apparatus according to the present invention changes a motion pattern of the virtual object depending on the actual movement of the real object. The change detectordetects temporal state change in the motion pattern of the real object captured by an imaging apparatus and the display controllerreads a motion pattern from the motion pattern storagebased on the event generated by the state change of an image. The display pattern controllercontrols display mode of the virtual object using the read motion pattern.
