Abstract:
1. An apparatus for determining an image processing parameter used for detecting an image of an object from a real picked-up image containing the image of the object, said apparatus comprising: a capture section for capturing the real picked-up image; a generation section for processing the captured real picked-up image to generate a pseudo image on which change in image pickup conditions relative to the real image is reflected; a detection section for detecting the image of the object from the pseudo image using an image processing parameter; a change section for changing the image processing parameter so that the image of the object is not erroneously detected when said detection section erroneously detects the image of the object from the pseudo image; and a comparison section for comparing a position of the image of the object contained in the pseudo image detected by said detection section and a reference position of the image of the object; and wherein said change section changes the image processing parameter so that the position of the image of the object contained in the pseudo image corresponds to the reference position when the position of the image of the object contained in the pseudo image does not correspond to the reference position.
