Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a receiver that receives broadcast waves including signals of a plurality of channels; a registration section that registers a recognition target; a determination section that determines whether or not the recognition target, registered in the registration section, exists in a frame of an image including the signals of the plurality of channels included in the broadcast waves received by the receiver; and a controller that sequentially switches, in accordance with a determination result obtained by the determination section, the plurality of channels received by the receiver, wherein the determination section reduces a proportion of a processing time allocated to a channel for which frame similarly to a prior image frame is continuously lower than a threshold value for continuous image frames of the same channel, so that the proportion of the processing time allocated to said channel is shorter than a proportion of a processing time allocated to the other channel.
