Abstract
A key region extraction unit () extracts a first region including pixels having a predetermined pixel value in a physical space image. A motion vector detection unit () calculates motion vectors at a plurality of portions on the physical space image. An object region detection unit () specifies, using the motion vectors, a second region to be merged with the first region. When superimposing a virtual space image on the physical space image, an image composition unit () excludes a composition region obtained by merging the first region with the second region from a virtual space image superimposition target.
