Abstract: An image processing device for processing images of background images and moving objects. A region specifying unit specifies a mixed region made up of a mixture of a foreground object component and a background object component, and a non-mixed region made up of one or the other of a foreground object component and a background object component, and outputs region information corresponding to the specifying results.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a mixed area in frames. An object extracting unit extracts a foreground object from an input image and generates an area-specified object formed of the foreground object and a value indicating that the foreground object belongs to a background area. A motion compensator compensates for the motion of the area-specified object based on a motion vector and positional information thereof. A subtracting unit subtracts the pixel value of a pixel belonging to a foreground object of a current frame from the corresponding pixel of the foreground object of a preceding frame, so as to obtain a frame difference between the pixels belonging to the foreground area. A threshold-value processor detects a mixed area based on the difference.
