Abstract

See full text

A subject tracking device includes: an input unit that sequentially inputs input images; an arithmetic operation unit that calculates a first similarity level between an initial template image and a target image and a second similarity level between an update template image and the target image; a position determining unit that determines a subject position based upon at least one of the first and the second similarity level; a decision-making unit that decides whether or not to update the update template image based upon the first and the second similarity level; and an update unit that generates a new update template image based upon the initial template image multiplied by a first weighting coefficient and the target image multiplied by a second weighting coefficient, and updates the update template image with the newly generated update template image, if the update template image is decided to be updated.
