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.

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.
