Abstract
Tracking a target object to be tracked included in a plurality of consecutively captured images is performed by an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus comprises an image acquisition unit and a tracking unit. The image tracking unit is configured to acquire an image. The tracking unit is configured to detect a target object to be tracked included in the image by matching and acquire over a plurality of the images an amount of movement of the target object to be tracked and a direction of the movement of the target object to be tracked. The tracking unit performs first matching by using a first template corresponding to the target object to be tracked, and performs second matching by using a second template, which is different in size or shape from the first template, in a case where a score of a result of the first matching is lower than a first threshold value.
