Abstract:
A moving target detecting system comprising:image pick-up means for picking up as plural screens images of an objective area including at least an identical region on a time series basis;feature value detecting means for dividing each of the images, which have been picked up by the image pick-up means, into plural segments having substantially identical profiles in different locations and then detecting image feature values in connection with brightness information in respective segments from each of the plural segments; anddiscriminating means for discriminating the moving target such that the presence and the position of the moving target is identified based on differences in locations between respective segments which exhibit substantially identical image feature values in different screens, by comparing the image feature values in respective segments on one screen out of the plural screens with the image feature values in respective segments on another screen obtained on a time series basis.
