IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR MONITORING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image processing apparatus for monitoring in which individual objects are accurately decided by preventing non-sensing by excess integration and incomplete integration and unnecessary sensing. SOLUTION: Integrating conditions of Feret's diameters of a region integrating unit 10 are set so that the larger the Feret's diameter is, the more the conditions are severe and the smaller the Feret's diameter is, the less the conditions are easy. The non-sensing and the unnecessary sensing due to the excess integration and the incomplete integration are prevented without bringing about the excess integration for integrating the Feret's diameters of change objects different when the Feret's diameters are large and without bringing about the incomplete integration that the Feret's diameter of the one change object becomes a plurality when the Feret's diameters are small, and hence the individual objects can be accurately decided.
