Abstract

An image analyzing apparatus includes a controller. In a first analyzing process, the controller performs: sequentially identifying line pixel groups from a first side toward a second side in a first direction; when identifying an m1th line pixel group, creating m1th first distance information corresponding to the m1th line pixel group based on m1−1th pixel information corresponding to an m1−1th line pixel group and on m1−1th first distance information corresponding to the m1−1th line pixel group; and when the m1th line pixel group contains a first subject group constituted by at least one first-type pixel contiguous to each other in the second direction each as the first-type pixel, determining, based on the created m1th first distance information, whether the first-type pixel not contiguous to the first subject group is present in a first region surrounding the first subject group.
