In tracking of a moving body using image data in detecting a target moving body having few externally outstanding features, such as coloring and a shape, from an image in an image frame, if an image of the target moving body overlaps a background image largely and their colorings are the same or similar to one another, it is difficult to detect the target moving body. A template image of the target moving body is superimposed on a background image of a region (periphery) of a candidate position of the target to generate a composite image and the moving body is detected based on a degree of match calculated through comparison of the composite image with an image of the region (periphery) of the candidate position of the target.
