PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for properly identifying an object to be tracked even when ID switching occurs.SOLUTION: An apparatus for tracking an object by use of image information or distance information acquired from a camera or a range finder, and sensor information acquired from a sensor includes: means of determining flows of the object, on the basis of the image information or distance information; means of acquiring position/motion information of a sensor body calculated on the basis of the sensor information; means of deleting a part of two flows extracted from the determined flows and corresponding to a time zone in which corresponding two points included in each of the two flows are located at a predetermined distance for a predetermined time or more, and forming one flow with the rest parts of the flows; and means of identifying a flow of the flows including the partially deleted flow, corresponding to the sensor body and/or an object other than the sensor body, on the basis of the acquired position/motion information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
