Abstract:
1. An object determination device comprising: a block luminance calculating unit which sets one or more templates including a plurality of rectangular blocks on an image, and which obtains an average value of luminance of each of the rectangular blocks contained in each template as a block luminance value; a block pair setting unit which sets a plurality of block pairs, by setting two of the rectangular blocks contained in each template as one block pair; a comparing unit which obtains a relation of a relative level between the block luminance values in each of the block pairs; and a score holding unit which holds, for each template, a score showing a degree to which a part of an object is included in the template based on the relation of the relative level between the block luminance values in each of the block pairs set in the template, wherein based on the relation of the relative level between the block luminance values of each of the block pairs in each template, by referring to the score holding unit, a sum of the scores of all the templates is obtained, and whether the object is included in the image is determined based on the sum.
