Disclosed is an image processing apparatus that includes one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: generate distribution data indicating a frequency distribution of horizontal distance values of a range image based on the range image having pixel values according to distance of an object in a plurality of captured images; detect an object based on the distribution data with respect to a range image; predict a predicted position of the object in a current frame based on the distribution data with respect to range images of a plurality of previous frames; and integrate a plurality of objects detected by the detector based on the predicted position to track an integrated object in subsequent frames.
