IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An image processing device, comprising:
- an acquiring unit for acquiring an image containing an object image;
a calculating unit for calculating one or more candidate object image areas based on color and edge characteristics of the image;
a selecting unit for selecting, based on a predetermined color model, a candidate object image area with a maximal similarity to the predetermined color model as a first object image area from the one or more candidate object image areas, where the maximal similarity is larger than or equal to a similarity threshold;
a determining unit for determining, based on color characteristics of the one or more candidate object image areas, another of the one or more candidate object image areas as one of a non-object image area and a second object image area with the first object image area;
a creating unit for creating, for each of the first and second object image areas, an adaptive color model; and
a detecting unit for detecting, based on the adaptive color model, an area containing the object image in the each of the first and second object image areas.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and method. The device includes: an acquiring unit for acquiring an image containing an object image; a calculating unit for calculating one or more candidate object image areas based on color and edge characteristics of the image; a selecting unit for selecting a candidate object image area with the maximal similarity to a predetermined color model as a first object image area from the one or more candidate object image areas; a determining unit for determining other of the one or more candidate object image areas as a non-object image area or a second object image area with the first object image area; a creating unit for creating an adaptive color model; and a detecting unit for detecting, based on the adaptive color model, an area containing the object image in the each of the first and second object image areas.

12. An image processing method, comprising:
-
acquiring an image containing an object image; calculating one or more candidate object image areas based on color and edge characteristics of the image; selecting, based a predetermined color model, a candidate object image area with a maximal similarity to the predetermined color model as a first object image area from the one or more candidate object image areas, wherein the maximal similarity is larger than or equal to a similarity threshold; determining, based on color characteristics of the one or more candidate object image areas, another of the one or more candidate object image areas as one of a non-object image area and a second object image area with the first object image area; creating, for each of the first and second object image areas, an adaptive color model; and detecting, based on the adaptive color model, an area containing the object image in the each of the first and second object image areas. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
