Abstract:
1. An image processing device, comprising: a memory module, for storing a plurality of images captured by a camera module; an object detection module, electrically coupled to the memory module, and selecting one of the images as a reference image and the other images as remaining images, and performing a contour comparison and a color comparison to compare the remaining images with the reference image, so as to search an object which exists in both the reference image and at least one of the remaining images according to a corresponding contour and a corresponding color, and compare locations of the object in the images; and a processing module, which comprises an image superimposition unit, electrically coupled to the object detection module and removing the objects in the reference image or superimposing the object of at least one of the remaining images to the reference image if the object detection module determines that the locations of the object in the reference image and at least one of the remaining images are different, wherein the object detection module comprises a superimposition detection unit for detecting whether or not the corresponding object situated in the region of the reference image and the remaining images has an overlapped portion; wherein the image superimposition unit will perform an image superimposition directly to superimpose the corresponding object onto the reference image without performing a boundary detection only if the corresponding object is situated at different positions without the overlapped portion; the image superimposition unit will perform the boundary detection of the corresponding object and an image superimposition only if the corresponding object has the overlapped portion.
