Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, implement: a display section that displays a preview streaming video obtained by capturing blades periodically arrayed in a jet engine; an image comparing section that compares a template image with a plurality of frame images, each of which is an image of one frame captured among images of the preview streaming video; and a recording section that records a frame image on the basis of the comparison of the comparing section indicating, by using a temporal change of a correlation value between the template image and the frame image, that the position or the angle of a blade in the frame image is equal to the position or the angle of a blade in the template image, wherein the comparison is made by repeatedly determining the correlation value and by determining a maximum correlation value indicating that the position or the angle of the blade in the frame image is equal to the position or the angle of the blade in the template image only after the repeatedly determined correlation value has become greater than a correlation threshold; wherein each recorded frame image is recorded as a still image file.
