Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises an object detection unit configured to detect a region of an object from a captured image captured by an image capturing unit via an omnidirectional imaging lens; a setting unit configured to set a position in the captured image corresponding to a direction perpendicular to a horizontal plane; a decision unit configured to decide, based on a relationship between the set position and a position of the object region in the captured image, a determination position used to determine passage of the object out of the region of the object; and a passage detection unit configured to detect, based on the determination position decided by the decision unit and a detection line set on the captured image, passage of the object across the detection line.
