Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus for performing a stable attention condition determination, regardless of the shape and surrounding environment of an object of interest and regardless that the object is unknown or known. The image processing apparatus comprises a direction detector, a displacement detector, and an attention condition determiner. The direction detector detects, from a certain image including a person image, the direction information in two body regions of a person represented by the person image. The displacement detector calculates, from the two direction information, a displacement ratio that is the ratio between the two direction displacements. The attention condition determiner determines, according to a first and a second displacement ratio, how much the person pays attention to a certain object. The first displacement ratio is calculated in the displacement detector by using first direction information detected by the direction detector from a first certain image including a first person image, and the second displacement ratio is calculated in the displacement detector by using second direction information detected by the direction detector from a second certain image including the first person image.

8. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a direction detection section that detects, from a predetermined image including a person image, direction information in two body regions of a person represented by the person image; a displacement detection section that calculates, from the two direction information items, a displacement ratio that is a ratio between two direction displacements; and an attention state determination section that performs determination of an attention level of a person toward a predetermined object based on a first displacement ratio calculated by the displacement detection section using first direction information detected by the direction detection section from a first predetermined image including a first person image, and a second displacement ratio calculated by the displacement detection section using second direction information detected by the direction detection section from a second predetermined image including the first person image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
