Abstract

See full text

An original picture taken by an ITV camera is subject to a local maximum filter processing and, if necessary, further to a local minimum filter processing, so that a background image is formed from the original picture itself. A target image included in the original picture is extracted separated from the background image by the subtraction between the thus obtained background image and the original picture. According to the present invention, since the background image is formed on the basis of the original picture, the unevenness or change of brightness, which equally influences on both of the target image and the background image, has no influence on the accurate extraction of the target image.
