Abstract
To search for a similar image more accurately, an image search system acquires a plurality of representative vectors, which are generated based on a plurality of feature vectors each indicating a feature of an image and included in a feature vector space, calculates a scalar value indicating a degree of similarity between each of the plurality of feature vectors and one of the representative vectors corresponding to the feature vector, calculates, for each of images, a feature value indicating a feature that depends on the representative vector based on the scalar value, and creates a search index associated with the calculated feature value.
