Abstract
An object tracking apparatus consisting of an imaging device, a signal processor for processing a video signal generated by the imaging device, and a display for displaying the result of processing performed by the signal processor. An intruding object is detected within a field under monitoring based on a video signal captured by the imaging device, and the imaging device is controlled in response to motions of the intruding object to track the object. The position of a visual field range of the imaging device is calculated, and panning and tilting of the imaging device and an imaging lens are controlled such that the calculated position of the visual field range of the imaging device does not include an imaging prohibited region positioned within the field under monitoring.
