Patent ID: 7567753

Claim:
An image extracting apparatus which extracts a partial object scene image belonging to a specific area out of an object scene image captured by an imaging surface, comprising: a first determiner for determining whether or not a movement of the object scene image captured by said imaging surface satisfies a pan/tilt condition; a second determiner for determining whether or not the movement of the object scene image captured by said imaging surface satisfies a camera-shake condition referring to a threshold value; a first activator for activating said second determiner in place of said first determiner when a determination result of said first determiner is affirmative; a second activator for activating said first determiner in place of said second determiner when a determination result of said second determiner is affirmative; a setter for setting a large numerical value to said threshold value as a zoom magnification is high; and a mover for moving said specific area within said imaging surface in such a direction as to cancel the movement of said object scene image captured by said imaging surface when the determination result of said first determiner is negative.
