Abstract: An apparatus includes an extraction unit to extract a feature point in a first image. A determination unit determines a motion vector that corresponds to the feature point extracted from the first image by the extraction unit and a corresponding point that is located in a second image and that has a highest degree of similarity between image data for the feature point and image data for the corresponding point, among candidates of the corresponding point in the second image. A correction unit corrects a first motion vector determined by the determination unit by employing a second motion vector determined by the determination unit. The correction unit employs the second motion vector, in accordance with both of a first degree of similarity between the feature point and the corresponding point, and a second degree of similarity between the feature point and another candidate among the candidates.

Abstract: When a feature point in a first image is employed to search for corresponding points in a second image, there is a case wherein an appropriate motion vector can not be determined, such as a case wherein multiple corresponding point choices are present, or no corresponding points are found. Therefore, when a corresponding point that has a high similarity to the feature point in the first image is not specified in the second image, a motion vector that is to be determined for a feature point, other than the feature point in the first image, is examined, and a motion vector for this feature point is determined.
