An apparatus comprises a detection unit detecting an object from an image acquired by a capturing unit; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the object is the same as a main object, wherein the determination unit includes a first determination unit that determines whether or not coordinates of the object candidate and coordinates of the main object satisfy a distance condition; a second determination unit that determines whether or not a difference between the object candidate and the main object is within a predetermined range; and a third determination unit that determines whether or not the first and second determination units have determined in the affirmative a predetermined number of times in a row, and the determination unit determines whether transfer of the main object has occurred based on determination results of the first to third determination units.
