Image processing apparatus, method, and program
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- extraction means configured to extract a characteristic amount of a region in which a recognition object may possibly be included from within an image of a processing object;
parameter retaining means configured to retain a parameter regarding the recognition object;
context retaining means configured to retain a context regarding the recognition object; and
decision means configured to decide based on the characteristic amount extracted by said extraction means, the parameter retained in said parameter retaining means, and a result of arithmetic operation performed using the context retained in said context retaining means whether or not an image in the region is the recognition object.

Abstract
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus, including extraction means, parameter retaining means, context retaining means, and decision means. The extraction means is configured to extract a characteristic amount of a region in which a recognition object may possibly be included from within an image of a processing object. The parameter retaining means is configured to retain a parameter regarding the recognition object. The context retaining means is configured to retain a context regarding the recognition object. The decision means is configured to decide based on the characteristic amount extracted by the extraction means, the parameter retained in the parameter retaining means, and a result of arithmetic operation performed using the context retained in the context retaining means whether or not an image in the region is the recognition object.
