There is provided an image processing apparatus which calculates a feature value of an image. The apparatus comprises first obtaining means for obtaining an image; calculation means for calculating a set of numerical values formed from degrees of contributions of each of a plurality of order, wherein the degree of contributions of each order indicate contributions of monomials of the order for intensity values which are calculated using an approximation polynomial, and wherein the approximation polynomial provides a relationship between a pixel position of the image and an intensity value at the pixel position and is formed from a plurality of the monomials each having an order out of the plurality of orders; and first output means for outputting the set of the calculated numerical values as the feature value of the image.
