Abstract

The binary processor of a digital camera turns an image targeted to recognize a particular shape into a binary image. The searcher searches for a valid pixel that is a pixel satisfying a given condition from the binary image. The determiner determines whether the region comprising a set of valid pixels has a particular shape when it is determined that a valid pixel is detected during the search. The retainer retains position information showing the position of the region comprising the set of valid pixels and determined to have the particular shape when the determiner determines that the region has the particular shape.
