Abstract

A plurality of images are inputted in time series. A vanishing point detection section detects a vanishing point at which a plurality of lines substantially concentrate from each input image. A concentration line elimination section eliminates the plurality of lines from the each input image according to a position of the vanishing point. A moving object detection section detects a moving object from the each input image in which the plurality of lines are eliminated.
