Abstract
An image processing system which uses mask information to combine a plurality of images including at least one moving picture updates the mask information based upon motion information obtained from motions of corresponding points between images contained in an input moving picture. The system further encodes a synthesized image using the mask information, or, alternatively, utilizing the mask information and the motion information that has been detected. Thus, mask information is generated automatically by carrying out motion detection processing, and the mask information is utilized constructively to perform coding of the synthesized image.
