Abstract
An image object tracking method and apparatus are provided. The image object tracking method includes the steps of: determining a feature point of a target object in a first frame, determining a prediction point of the feature point in a second frame, calculating an estimated rotation angle of an image capturing device according to a distance between the coordinate of the prediction point and the coordinate of the feature point and a distance between the image capturing device and the target object, calculating a lens rotation angle of the image capturing device rotated from a time point that the first frame is captured to a time point that the second frame is captured according to a piece of inertial measurement information provided by an inertial measurement unit, and determining whether the prediction point corresponds to the feature point by comparing the estimated rotation angle and the lens rotation angle.
