To inhibit tracking of a target such as birds from becoming difficult (lost) when tracking the target such as birds whose travel speed is high, and change in direction is quick.SOLUTION: A target tracking apparatus 1 includes: a wide field angle imaging unit 11 for imaging a target with a wide field angle； a narrow field angle imaging unit 12 for imaging the target with a narrow field angle； an imaging direction drive unit 13 for driving an imaging direction of the wide field angle imaging unit 11 and the narrow field angle imaging unit 12 so that imaging directions of the wide field angle imaging unit 11 and the narrow field angle imaging unit 12 are the same； and a tracking processing control unit 14 for controlling the imaging direction drive unit 13 so that the narrow field angle imaging unit 12 and the wide field angle imaging unit 11 can image the tracking target substantially in the center of the imaging field angle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】本開示は、移動速度や方向転換が速い鳥類等の目標を追尾する際に、鳥類等の目標が追尾困難（ロスト）にならないことを目的とする。【解決手段】本開示は、広画角で目標を撮像する広画角撮像部１１と、狭画角で目標を撮像する狭画角撮像部１２と、広画角撮像部１１及び狭画角撮像部１２の撮像方向が同一方向となるように、広画角撮像部１１及び狭画角撮像部１２の撮像方向を駆動する撮像方向駆動部１３と、狭画角撮像部１２及び広画角撮像部１１が追尾目標を撮像画角内のほぼ中央に撮像することができるように、撮像方向駆動部１３を制御する追尾処理制御部１４と、を備えることを特徴とする目標追尾装置１である。【選択図】図１
