Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking an object, and a method and apparatus for calculating object pose information are provided. The method of tracking the object obtains object feature point candidates by using a difference between pixel values of neighboring frames. A template matching process is performed in a predetermined region having the object feature point candidates as the center. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a processing time needed for the template matching process. The method of tracking the object is robust in terms of sudden changes in lighting and partial occlusion. In addition, it is possible to track the object in real time. In addition, since the pose of the object, the pattern of the object, and the occlusion of the object are determined, detailed information on action patterns of the object can be obtained in real time.
