Provided are an apparatus and method for generating panorama images and an apparatus and method for tracking an object using the same. The apparatus for generating panorama images estimates regional motion vectors with respect to respective lower regions set in an image frame, determines a frame motion vector by using the regional motion vectors based on a codebook storing sets of normalized regional motion vectors corresponding to a camera's motion and then accumulates motion mediating variables computed with respect to respective continuous image frames to determine an overlapping region, and matches the overlapping regions to generate a panorama image. The apparatus for tracking an object sets the panorama image generated by the apparatus for generating panorama images as a background image, and determines an object region by averaging pixel value difference values between pixels that constitute a captured input image and corresponding pixels in the panorama image. Regional motion vectors are estimated by using the coordinate of a pixel selected in lower regions, and thus a computing process can be simplified and a process speed can be increased. In addition, effects of wrongly estimated regional motion vectors can be minimized by using a codebook. Furthermore, noises are minimized and an object can be accurately extracted by using averaged pixel value difference values.

An image divider generates a binary image including edge information on an original image, and generates a label map including a plurality of regions of interest (ROIs) respectively corresponding to a plurality of objects included in the original image.

An image restoration method includes receiving an externally input image signal, generating a filtered image signal by filtering the input image signal, and generating a restored image signal by calculating a weighted average of the input image signal and the filtered image signal.

More particularly, the restored image signal may be generated using weighting factors calculated based on the input image signal, by calculating a local variance of pixels in the input image signal, and calculating the weighting factor for each of the pixels based on the local variance of each of the pixels.
