1. An image processing method comprising:
defining relations between entities of a target of which a motion is to be predicted from an image of a first time point based on a feature vector of the entities;
estimating a dynamic interaction between the entities at the first time point based on the defined relations between the entities, including sampling a result in which prior information and posterior information are combined and generating a latent variable corresponding to the dynamic interaction between the entities at the first time point based on a result of the sampling;
predicting a motion of the entities changing at a second time point based on the estimated dynamic interaction and the latent variable; and
outputting a result to which the motion predicted at the second time point is applied.
