Abstract

See full text

This invention provides a technology that allows the acquisition of background differentials using images acquired by a camera, the viewpoint of which moves. First, said camera acquires a background image, i.e. an image that does not contain a target object. Using information on the line-of-sight direction and viewpoint position of the camera, position information for pixels in the background image is transformed to polar-coordinate information Next, the camera acquires an object image. Using information on the line-of-sight direction and viewpoint position of the camera, position information for pixels in the object image is transformed to polar-coordinate information. The polar-coordinate information for the pixels in the object image is used to identify a target background, said target background being the part of the background image in an angle region corresponding to the object image. By comparing the object image and the target background, the differential therebetween is extracted.
