Abstract:
1. An object extraction device, comprising: a first object extraction calculating device that finds an object extraction image by carrying out object extraction calculations for extraction of an object by using a predetermined first calculation parameter on a plurality of photographed images having a parallax with respect to the object; an incorrect outline extraction processing device that extracts an outline from the object extraction image found by said first object extraction calculating device and extracts an incorrect outline segment from the extracted outline; a recalculated region determining device that determines as a recalculated region a partial region that includes the incorrect outline segment extracted by said incorrect outline extraction processing device within an image region of one of the photographed images; and a second object extraction calculating device that finds a re-extracted image that comprises an object extraction image of the recalculated region by carrying out an object extraction calculation in order to eliminate the incorrect outline segment in the recalculated region by using a second calculation parameter that is different from the first calculation parameter on said plurality of photographed images.
