Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image processing apparatus includes a first detecting unit configured to detect an object in an image; a determining unit configured to determine a moving direction of the object detected by the first detecting unit; and a second detecting unit configured to perform detection processing of detecting whether the object detected by the first detecting unit is a specific object on the basis of the moving direction of the object determined by the first determining unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A control apparatus for controlling a detection processing for detecting a specific object, comprising: a memory; a processor coupled to the memory which executes the following: determining a moving direction of a moving object detected in a moving image, wherein the moving direction corresponds to a positional relationship between a position of the moving object in a moving image at a first time and a position of the moving object in the moving image at…
