Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including: a detection section configured to detect a motion area in a screen based on images taken, and output detection information; an accumulation section configured to accumulate the detection information for the past as outputted from the detection section; an area division section configured to divide the screen into an area where motions regularly occur and a motion-free area, based on the detection information for the past as accumulated in the accumulation section, and output area information; and an alarm management section configured to perform particular control based on the area information from the area division section and the detection information from the detection section.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a color rolling detection method and detection device for an input image, which can detect a phenomenon of color rolling in the image rapidly, efficiently and at a low cost.

Abstract: An image-data-distribution-model updating apparatus includes: a determining unit that determines, concerning image data continuous in time series, to which of plural distribution models indicating an average of signal levels for each of plural color components, variance of a signal level distribution of all the plural color components, and reliability of all the plural color components the target image data belongs; and an updating unit that updates the average, the variance, and the reliability of a distribution model having the highest reliability among the distribution models to which it is determined that the target image data belongs and updates the reliability of the other distribution models.

Abstract: A motion detecting device, a motion detecting method, an imaging device, and a monitoring system are provided. The motion detecting device include a processing unit for performing a process of determining a presence or absence of motion by comparing brightness difference information with a detection parameter of a motion detection, the brightness difference information being obtained from a video signal outputted from an image sensor, and a controller for controlling the detection parameter using control information determined by property control of an imaging device including the image sensor.
