Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes one or more processors that execute a program and thereby function as a setting unit that sets a tracking target region, a generating unit that generates a template to be used in template matching based on a set tracking target region, and a detecting unit that detects, in a current image, a first region that is similar to a template generated by the generating unit, by applying template matching using the template to the image. Therein the setting unit sets, as a new tracking target region, the first region detected in the current image by the detecting unit or a second region of the current image whose position corresponds to a previously set tracking target region.
