    Abstract: An object identification method determines whether a first monitoring image and a second monitoring image captured by a monitoring camera apparatus have the same object. The object identification method includes acquiring the first monitoring image at a first point of time to analyze a first object inside a first angle of view of the first monitoring image, acquiring the second monitoring image at a second point of the time different from the first point of time to analyze a second object inside the first angle of view of the second monitoring image, estimating a first similarity between the first object inside the first angle of view of the first monitoring image and the second object inside the first angle of view of the second monitoring image; and determining whether the first object and the second object are the same according to comparison result of the first similarity with a threshold.
