ABSTRACT:
An object is detected in comparison between an input image from an image pick-up device having a zoom mechanism and a template image stored in a manner that a first image within a view field of the image pick-up device is stored as a first as the template image, a power of the zoom mechanism to be changed is recorded, a second image to be detected is picked-up from the image pick-up device. Then, a size of either one of the template image and the second image is changed on the bases of the changed power of the zoom mechanism, and a template matching is performed between the template image and the second image to detect the object. This process makes it possible to track an object within the view field.
