Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a camera configured to generate a plurality of captured images by capturing motion of an object; an image processor configured to process the plurality of captured images; a storage configured to store a predetermined information which is common data included in common in a plurality of motion history images (MHI) obtained by capturing respectively the motions by a predetermined form; and a controller configured to determine that a form of the motion by the object within the plurality of captured images corresponds to the predetermined form if it is determined that MHI data of the plurality of captured images includes the predetermined information, wherein the controller is further configured to divide an entire pixel region of the at least one of an MHI of the plurality of captured images into a plurality of divided pixel regions, calculate operation data respectively of the divided pixel regions with one of a plurality of predetermined region patterns, and obtain the MHI data of the at least one of the MHI of the plurality of captured images based on the operation data of the respective divided pixel regions, wherein the one of the plurality of predetermined region patterns comprises a plurality of divisional regions, which are divided into a first region and a second region respectively comprising at least one non-overlapping divisional region from among the plurality of divisional regions, and the controller is configured to calculate the operation data of each pixel region by selectively applying a binary value in accordance with comparison results between an average pixel value of the first region and an average pixel value of the second region.
