  • Patent number: 11400607
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an acquirer, a face detector, and a change detector. The acquirer acquires images captured in succession by an image capturer. The face detector executes a first detection processing (face detection processing) that detects a certain target (face of a person) from a central area of the acquired image. The change detector executes second detection processing to detect a change over time in a surrounding area other than the central area in the acquired image. The second detection processing has a smaller processing load required per unit pixel in the image than that of the first detection processing.
