Abstract: An imaging apparatus including an imaging unit, an index determining unit, a predetermined image detecting unit, and a notification unit. The imaging unit has a preset imaging range and which images a target within the imaging range. The index determining unit determines whether an image of a particular index image has intruded into the imaging range. The predetermined image detecting unit detects a predetermined image part within the imaging range. The notification unit notifies that the index determining unit determines that the index image overlaps the predetermined image part. The predetermined image detecting unit is configured to determine a change direction of a changed part of image information and a no-change direction, and the notification unit notifies in accordance with the relation between a change direction of the index image and a change direction of image information.
