Abstract

See full text

A state estimation apparatus appropriately estimates the internal state of an observation target by calculating a likelihood from observation data, and tracks, for example, multiple objects in a moving image and detects a new object and adds the object as a tracking target in an appropriate manner. A labeling unit detects a closed area from an observation image, and adds a label number to the closed area to generate a label image. A likelihood obtaining unit generates an object-erased image for new object detection by erasing image areas corresponding to all the currently-tracked objects. The apparatus performs the process for detecting a new object using the object-erased image for new object detection based on label numbers. The apparatus is appropriately prevented from erroneously determining that an area of the object-erased image for new object detection corresponding to the currently-tracked object and remaining after the erasure corresponds to a new object.
