1. A control apparatus for controlling one or more image capturing apparatuses, the control apparatus comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    at least one memory having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to;

    identify an imaging object which enters an imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses;

    store, in a storage, identification of the imaging object which enters the imageable area of the one or more image capturing apparatuses;

    determine at a determination time according to a time when the imaging object enters the imageable area, based on the identification of the imaging object which has been stored in the storage when the imaging object has entered the imageable area prior to the determination time, whether the imaging object which enters the imageable area is tracked by the one or more image capturing apparatuses;

    compare a tracking object upper limit number with a number of tracking objects already tracked;

    determine, if the tracking object upper limit number is greater than the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object; and

    determine, if the tracking object upper limit number is equal to the number of tracking objects already tracked, the imaging object as a tracking object, instead of one of the tracking objects already tracked.
