US Patent 10977801 Method and apparatus for tracking object

An object tracking method and apparatus are provided. The object tracking method includes detecting a target object in a first-type input image that is based on light in a first wavelength band, tracking the target object in the first-type input image based on detection information of the target object, measuring a reliability of the first-type input image by comparing the first-type image to an image in a database, comparing the reliability of the first-type input image to a threshold, and tracking the target object in a second-type input image that is based on light in a second wavelength band.
