Abstract
An unprocessed image is prepared which is shot against an arbitrary background, including materials to be trimmed. Color values are collected from a plurality of frames of this unprocessed image in a collection point including one or more pixels, whereby a color information set is obtained. From the color information set, it is judged which color shows the background and which color shows the materials to be trimmed, thereby determining an optimum background-side color value. This process is applied to an area where to extract the background from, thereby obtaining a background image into which the background is extracted. This makes it possible to obtain background images from unprocessed images that are shot in busy locations, without traffic controls or dedicated studios.
