Abstract
An image-processing method is an image-processing method for detecting motion between plural images, including a searching operation of searching for a local motion vector from each of blocks in the plural images on the basis of feature quantity of the plural images, and a calculating operation of calculating evaluation values of the local motion vector found, in which one of the evaluation values is accuracy of position adjustment which is obtained when the search source block of said local motion vector is position-adjusted on a trial basis by using the local motion vector in order to provide an image-processing method, an image-processing program, an image-processing apparatus, and an imaging apparatus which can properly evaluate local motion vectors which are found by searching blocks of images upon detecting motion of plural images.
