Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a detection unit that detects that a center position of an area corresponding to at least a portion of an object moving within a display screen has moved across an object detection line segment set in the display screen. A setting unit sets an inhibition region, where the detection is inhibited, along a frame of the display screen to provide both (i) a non-inhibition region where the detection is not inhibited and (ii) the inhibition region, together with each other in the display screen, after setting the inhibition region. The non-inhibition region is a remaining region in the display screen, other than the inhibition region. The detection unit detects that the center position has moved across the object detection line segment set in the non-inhibition region.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one processor operatively coupled to a memory, serving as:
an acquisition unit that acquires images;
an input unit that receives an instruction, inputted by a user, for setting an object detection line segment in an image area of a display screen, the object detection line segment being used for detecting at least a portion of an object, detected in the images acquired by the acquisition unit that has in…
