Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a region setting unit configured to set a specific region where a reflection may occur in an image, a size setting unit configured to set a size of an object to be detected in association with a position in the image, and a changed region detection unit configured to detect a changed region by comparing a background model and an input image, wherein the changed region detection unit outputs the changed region in the specific region based on the size of the object associated with a position of the changed region, in a case where the changed region extends beyond a boundary of the specific region.
