Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking an image considering scale are provided. A registered image patch may be divided into a scale-invariant image patch and a scale-variant image patch according to a predetermined scale invariance index (SII). If a registered image patch within an image is a scale-invariant image patch, the scale-invariant image patch is tracked by adjusting its position, while if the registered image patch is a scale-variant image patch, the scale-invariant image patch is tracked by adjusting its position and scale.
