Abstract

In order to detect a specific detection object from an input image, a color serving as a reference is calculated in a reference image region. The difference for each color component between each pixel in the detection window and the reference color is calculated. Whether or not the detection object is included in the detection window is discriminated by a feature vector indicating how the difference is distributed in the detection window.
