IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reproduce a moving image enabling easy grasp of contents, if static images obtained temporally before and after are mutually greatly different.SOLUTION: If the resemblance of images temporally adjacent with each other is lower than a threshold (step S7; No) and producing non-resemblance, and if images having resemblance higher than the threshold do not continue for several frames after the image captured after (step S9; No), the image captured after is copied and inserted between the temporally adjacent images (step S10). Thus, by the repetition of processing from the step S6 and on completion of the decision of resemblance for all images, a moving image file, including an image in an image file subordinate to the group and the image copied and inserted in the step S10, is generated and preserved in a storage unit 14 (step S12).
