Abstract
An image processing apparatus tracks a target object included in a plurality of consecutively captured images. The image processing apparatus may include an image acquisition unit, a template acquisition unit, a masking map generation unit, and a tracking unit. The image acquisition unit acquires the image. The template acquisition unit acquires a template corresponding to the target object. The masking map generation unit generates a masking map that indicates a degree of masking of the target object by another object. The tracking unit detects the target object by using the template, and acquires an amount of movement of the target object and a direction of the movement of the target object, based on both of the template and the masking map.
