An imaging apparatus is provided. The imaging apparatus includes an imager configured to record an external image, a region determiner configured to divide a recorded previous image frame and a recorded current image frame into pluralities of regions, calculate a moving direction and a distance of each of the plurality of regions in the current image frame corresponding to each of the plurality of regions in the previous image frame, and determine a background and an object by applying a preset background model and object model based on the calculated moving direction and distance, and a posture determiner configured to determine body parts of the determined object based on a body part model, and determine a posture of the object by combining the determined body parts.

Imaging apparatus and control method for determining a posture of an object

A method of tracking an object of an object tracking apparatus is provided. The method includes by performing probability propagation between a set of frames where tracking of a target object is completed and a set of frames where tracking of a target object is not completed among a plurality of frames of an image, calculating a probability map for a target object in each frame included the set of frames where tracking is completed, selecting a frame form the set of frames where tracking is not completed based on the calculated probability map, and determining a location of the target object in the selected frame.
