The present invention relates to an image processing device enabling
detection of a mixture ratio indicating the state of mixture between
multiple objects. A contour region information generating unit 421 and a
normal equation generating unit 422 extracts contour region pixel data
within a frame of interest positioned at a contour region with
approximately a same mixture ratio, extracts corresponding pixel data
from a frame different to the frame of interest, extracting background
pixel data corresponding to the contour region pixel data or the
corresponding pixel data, and generating an equation wherein the mixture
ratio is an unknown number, based on region specifying information
specifying a non-mixed region made up of a foreground region and
background region and a mixed region. A least square approximation unit
423 detects the mixture ratio by solving the equation. The present
invention can be applied to signals processing devices for processing
image signals.
