Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for tracking a target object to be tracked included in a plurality of consecutively captured images, the image processing apparatus comprises an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image; a template acquisition unit configured to acquire a template corresponding to a target object to be tracked included in the image; a masking map generation unit configured to generate a masking map serving as a map indicative of a degree of masking the target object to be tracked, which is included in the image, by another object; and a tracking unit configured to detect the target object to be tracked included in the image by using the template, and acquire over a plurality of images an amount of movement of the target object to be tracked and a direction of the movement of the target object to be tracked, based on both of the template and the masking map.

Claim (Index 2):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the masking map is a map in which the template is divided into a plurality of blocks and the degree of masking is associated with each of the blocks, and the tracking unit acquires the amount of the movement of the target object to be tracked and the direction of the movement of the target object to be tracked based on a result of matching performed by using the template on a per block basis and weighting performed by using the degree of masking corresponding to each of the blocks.
