Abstract
An object tracking method includes: predicting a prediction distribution which is a distribution of each of prediction pose locations of first objects in a current frame by inputting pose time-sequence data to a pose predictor; estimating a set of locations of each of second objects in the current frame by inputting the current frame to a pose estimator; obtaining identification information indicating a one-to-one correspondence between the second objects and the first objects and location information of the second objects by matching the set of locations and the prediction distribution, to output the obtained identification information and location information; and updating the pose time-sequence data by adding, to the pose time-sequence data and based on the obtained identification information and location information, data which includes coordinates indicating a pose of each of the first objects and is obtained from the predicted prediction distribution.
