Abstract

In an image analyzing apparatus, a controller in a first analyzing process performs: sequentially identifying line pixel groups from a first side in a first direction; and determining whether a first-type pixel not contiguous to a first subject group constituted by at least one first-type pixel contiguous to each other in a second direction is present in a first region surrounding the first subject group, using first relevant information relating to each line pixel group located on the first side. In a second analyzing process, the controller performs: sequentially identifying the line pixel groups from a second side in the first direction; and determining whether the first-type pixel not contiguous to the first subject group is present in a second region surrounding the first subject group, using second relevant information relating to each line pixel group located on a second side.
