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: Realizing a constant-current control even in a stable state of a lamp without increasing a rated output of a power supply. In a stable state of the lamp in which a change value of a lamp voltage after a discharge lamp is turned on becomes less than a certain value, when the lamp voltage rises, a discharge lamp lighting control apparatus changes a current command value to perform a constant-current control. This change is a change from a first current command value at the time when the discharge lamp is turned on to a second current command value that is smaller than the former by a predetermined value. Using this second current command value, the constant-current control is performed. Even after that, the second current command value is changed to a smaller value every time the lamp voltage rises, and the constant-current control is performed using the second current command value.
