Abstract

An image analysis method, medium and apparatus for segmentation of a moving image, and a moving image segmentation system. The image analysis method includes receiving an image signal representing an image, detecting features of the image by calculating a difference between the current frame of the image signal and its previous frame, analyzing the image signal based on the detected features of the image, and performing segmentation on the image signal according to the analysis result, thereby separately performing segmentation on all types of moving images. In other words, by using an appropriate segmentation method according to a feature of an image, effective segmentation can be achieved.
