Abstract

An image analysis apparatus includes a unit that accepts plural dynamic image data obtained by imaging a subject to be recognized from positions different from each other, a unit that detects a part to be detected of the subject to be recognized from series of frame image data respectively included in the plural dynamic image data, and a correction unit that compares information of a detection position of the part to be detected from the respective dynamic image data and corrects at least a part of the information of the detection position of the part to be detected from the respective dynamic image data on a basis of a result of comparison.

Claims (23)

1. An image analysis apparatus comprising:

a unit that accepts a plurality of dynamic image data obtained by imaging a subject to be recognized from positions different from each other;

a unit that detects a detection target part of the subject to be recognized from series of frame image data included in each of the plurality of dynamic image data; and

a correction unit that compares plural pieces of information of detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and corrects at least a part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of a result of the comparison wherein

in the comparison, the correction unit compares coordinate values in a designated axial direction among coordinate values included in the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and

the correction unit corrects at least the part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of the result of the comparison.

2. An image analysis apparatus comprising:

a unit that accepts a plurality of dynamic image data obtained by imaging a subject to be recognized from positions different from each other;

a unit that detects a detection target part of the subject to be recognized from series of frame image data included in each of the plurality of dynamic image data; and

a correction unit that compares plural pieces of information of detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and corrects at least a part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of a result of the comparison wherein

the correction unit calculates predetermined statistic information from the coordinate values in the designated axial direction, which are included in the information of the detection positions of the detection target part being obtained from the respective dynamic image data, and corrects at least the part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of a comparison of the statistic information.

3. An image analysis method employing a computer, comprising:

accepting plural pieces of dynamic image data obtained by imaging a subject to be recognized from positions different from each other;

detecting a detection target part of the subject to be recognized from series of frame image data included in each of the plural pieces of dynamic image data; and

comparing, using the computer, plural pieces of information of detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and correcting at least a part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of a result of the comparison, wherein

in the comparison, the correction unit compares coordinate values in a designated axial direction among coordinate values included in the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and

the correction unit corrects at least the part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of the result of the comparison.

4. A storage medium readable by a computer, the storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for analyzing image, the function comprising:

accepting plural pieces of dynamic image data obtained by imaging a subject to be recognized from positions different from each other;

detecting a detection target part of the subject to be recognized from series of frame image data included in each of the plural pieces of dynamic image data; and

comparing plural pieces information of detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and correcting at least a part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of a result of the comparison, wherein

in the comparison, the correction unit compares coordinate values in a designated axial direction among coordinate values included in the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, and

the correction unit corrects at least the part of the information of the detection positions of the detection target part, which are obtained from the respective frame image data of the dynamic image data, on a basis of the result of the comparison.
