To provide an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that can improve the followability to an object to be tracked with a picked-up image obtained by a fish-eye camera.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 1 comprises: a control unit having an object to be tracked setting unit 122 that sets an object to be tracked in a first frame of moving images, a first feature tracking unit 123 that tracks the object to be tracked in a second frame based on a first feature of the object to be tracked set in the first frame, a second feature tracking unit 124 that tracks the object to be tracked in the second frame based on a second feature of the object to be tracked set in the first frame, and a tracking management unit 125 that mixes a tracking result from the first feature tracking unit and a tracking result from the second feature tracking unit at a predetermined mixture ratio; and an output unit 13 that outputs a detection position of the object to be tracked in the second frame based on a mixture result of mixture performed by the tracking management unit 125.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】魚眼カメラによる撮像画像で追跡対象への追従性を向上させることができる画像処理装置、画像処理方法及びプログラムを提供する。【解決手段】画像処理装置１は、動画像の第１フレームにおいて追跡対象を設定する追跡対象設定部１２２と、第１フレームで設定した追跡対象の第１特徴に基づいて、第２フレームで追跡対象を追跡する第１特徴追跡部１２３と、第１フレームで設定した追跡対象の第２特徴に基づいて、第２フレームで追跡対象を追跡する第２特徴追跡部１２４と、所定の混合率で、第１特徴追跡部による追跡結果と、第２特徴追跡部による追跡結果とを混合する追跡管理部１２５と、を有する制御部及び追跡管理部１２５が混合した混合結果に基づいて、第２フレームでの追跡対象の検出位置を出力する出力部１３を備える。【選択図】図３
