Abstract
A low-level region detection unit is configured to detect a low-level region from a far-infrared camera image. A transparent region detection unit is configured to detect a low-level region based on at least the near-infrared camera image, the low-level region having a predetermined level or less resulting from being a transparent region that is a region covered with a visually transparent material, within the low-level region detected by the low-level region detection unit. The image segmentation unit is configured to segment a portion of the transparent region from the near-infrared camera image. The superimposition unit is configured to superimpose the portion of the transparent region onto a position of the far-infrared camera image, which corresponds to a position of the transparent region, and generate a synthetic image.
