Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an edge intensity calculator which calculates an edge intensity of a pixel in an image; and a correlation value calculator which calculates a correlation value between the calculated edge intensity and a bubble model set in advance based on characteristics of a bubble image. The apparatus also includes a bubble area detector which detects a bubble area based on the calculated correlation value.
