ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to image processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program for providing reliable tracking of a tracking point. When a right eye502of a human face504serving as a tracking point is tracked in a frame n−1 and when a tracking point501appears as in a frame n, the tracking point501continues to be tracked. When, as in a frame n+1, the right eye502serving as the tracking point501disappears due to the rotation of the face504of an object to be tracked, the tracking point is transferred to a left eye503, which is a different point of the face504serving as the object including the right eye502. The present invention is applicable to a security camera system.
