Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a storage unit storing a first transform parameter corresponding to a first picture and information about an initial region; a transform parameter calculation unit calculating a second transform parameter according to an image-capture environment for a second picture; and a first picture transform unit transforming at least one of the first and second pictures using the first and second transform parameters. Additionally, a tracking processing unit tracks the images of the target by searching for a region having an amount of characteristics that is close to an amount of characteristics of the initial region; a second picture transform unit transforms the second picture using a third transform parameter having less variation between pictures successively captured than the second transform parameter; and an output unit outputs a search result and a picture obtained through the transformation by the second picture transform unit.
