If the process for the original image R0 is completed, in step S208, the image reduction process for the original image R0 is executed. For example, a reduced image R1 whose vertical and horizontal lengths are set to ? is generated.
The processes of steps S201 to S205 of the flowchart illustrated in
Thereafter, similarly, reduced images R2 to R6 are sequentially generated, and the processes of steps S201 to S205 of the flowchart illustrated in
Further, in the repetitive process, the size of the divisional/reduced region setting window is not reduced, and its original size is kept.
The reason for repeatedly executing the process using a plurality of reduced images as described above will be described with reference to
As the image is reduced, the image in the moving body detection frame is reduced as well.
A size of a person photographed in the image increases as it is closer to the camera and decreases as it is farther from the camera.
In other words, the size of the person photographed in the image has various sizes.
