The present invention relates to image processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program for providing reliable tracking of a tracking point. When a right eyeof a human faceserving as a tracking point is tracked in a frame n&#x2212;1 and when a tracking pointappears as in a frame n, the tracking pointcontinues to be tracked. When, as in a frame n+1, the right eyeserving as the tracking pointdisappears due to the rotation of the faceof an object to be tracked, the tracking point is transferred to a left eye, which is a different point of the faceserving as the object including the right eye. The present invention is applicable to a security camera system.

Image processing device and method, recording medium, and program for tracking a desired point in a moving image

An image processing apparatus executes image processing on an original image. The image processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display adjusting images each corresponding to a part or the entirety of the original image; a setting unit allowing setting of values of parameters defining respective degrees of the image processing for the adjusting images such that the values differ among the adjusting images; and an operating unit allowing specification of one of the adjusting images by an external operation. When one of the adjusting images is specified using the operating unit, the setting unit modifies the values of the parameters defining the respective degrees of the image processing for the other adjusting images so that the values for the other adjusting images are approximated to the values for the specified adjusting image. The display unit displays the adjusting images according to the respective modified degrees of the image processing.
