Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a detection unit detects a moving object from a captured image captured by an image capturing unit. An extraction unit extracts an edge from the captured image. A determination unit determines, based on a position of the moving object included in the captured image, whether to superimpose the edge on a region corresponding to the moving object in a background image. A generation unit generates an output image by superimposing a mask image, for obscuring the moving object, on the region in the background image and superimposing the edge, determined by the determination unit to be superimposed, on the region in the background image.

Abstract: A write region is detected based on an image of an object, when performing split imaging of the object using a microscope. When a certain region includes a feature region that is a region in which an image feature related to a color or an image feature related to smoothness of a change in a pixel value satisfies a predetermined condition, and when the feature region has an area equal to or greater than a predetermined value in the image, the region is determined to be a write region. For an imaging position within the write region, an in-focus position of the imaging position is determined based on a value of an in-focus position of a position different from the imaging position.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to the present invention comprises a modification unit that modifies image data displayed on a display apparatus on the basis of a user operation. For example, when a user performs a zoom-in operation in a condition where second image data for displaying a full image of a slide glass on which a sample is provided are displayed, the modification unit displays first image data for displaying a full image of the sample. When the user performs a zoom-out operation in a condition where the first image data are displayed, the modification unit displays the second image data.

Abstract: An image inspection assisting apparatus has a first behavior mode in which a display area is allowed to move freely and a second behavior mode in which movement of the display area is restricted. The apparatus determines whether or not a move instruction input by the user instructs a movement within a predetermined non-restricted range when the current behavior mode is the second behavior mode. The movement of the display area is restricted when the move instruction is not an instruction instructing a movement within the non-restricted range.

Abstract: Whether or not each of display regions other than a command target display region defined as the display region to which a command for changing the display state is directed is set as an interlock control target display region in which a change of the display state according to the changing command is to be applied in an interlocked manner with the change of the display state made to the command target display region. The change of the display state according to the changing command is applied to the interlock control target display region in an interlocked manner with the change of the display state of the display region to which the command is directed. Whether or not each display region is set as the interlock control target display region is determined based on the display magnification, information about the object, and information about the image data.

A pixel selector selects a selected pixel to be compared with the pixel of interest from the window, and a pixel value determination unit determines a new pixel value of the pixel of interest on the basis of the pixel values of the selected pixel and pixel of interest. New image data is generated by substituting the pixel value of the pixel of interest by the new pixel value.
