detecting an image movement vector from an image signal pro-
duced by a video camera, the image movement vector represent-
ing movement of an object within an image represented by the
image signal, comprising:
vibration vector detecting means for detecting a
vibration vector from the image signal resulting from vibra-
tion of the video camera; and
image movement vector detecting means for detecting
an image movement vector representing movement of an object
within an image represented by the image signal based on both
the image signal and the vibration vector.
