Abstract

A computer-readable storage medium has stored therein an information processing program for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to operate as: means for sequentially obtaining an image; specific object detection means for detecting a specific object from the obtained image; means for detecting, on the basis of a pixel value obtained from a central region of the detected specific object, first region information on the central region; means for determining whether or not a result of the detection meets a predetermined condition; means for detecting, on the basis of a pixel value obtained from a surrounding region of the specific object that is present around the central region, second region information on the surrounding region; and means for outputting at least the second region information detected by the second region information detection means when a result of the determination is positive.
