Even when a moving object intrudes into an area other than an initially registered preset position, movement of the moving object can be detected and tracked. A moving obj ect automatic tracking apparatus 1 comprises a movement detector 11 for detecting movement of a moving object from an image obtained in time series from an image input portion 2, a tracker 12 for tracking the moving object by controlling a platform of the image input portion 2 in a direction of movement of the moving object based on a movement detection result of the movement detector 11, an area manager 13 for performing management of a registered preset position and new registration of a preset position indicating an area for executing tracking by the tracker 12 and movement detection by the movement detector 11, and a patrol monitor 14 for monitoring while patrolling plural preset positions set and managed by the area manager 13, and when a position in which the moving object is tracked and lost differs from the initialized preset position, the lost position is newly added and registered as an adaptive preset position. |
