Abstract

A moving amount derivation apparatus derives a moving amount of a host apparatus that includes the moving amount derivation apparatus. The moving amount derivation apparatus includes: an image acquisition part that acquires a series of photographic images from a photographing apparatus that the host apparatus includes and that moves with the host apparatus; and an image processor coupled to the image acquisition part. The image processor is configured to: (i) derive a moving vector of a photographed object within the series of the photographic images, using a plurality of the photographic images out of the series of the photographic images, the plurality of the photographic images having been photographed at different time points; and (ii) derive the moving amount of the host apparatus based on the moving vector.
