Abstract
A video image tracking apparatus and a video image tracking method are provided. The method makes it possible to detect and track a target image having a variety of angles without a multi-view detector, easily adapt to addition of a new target image and removal of an existing target image, reduce calculation time and memory consumption for detecting and tracking the target image having a variety of angles, so that embedded software or chip can be realized, and tracking the target image at high speed.
