Abstract
An apparatus detects a plurality of areas from an overall image, determines on each of the plurality of areas whether the area is a candidate for an area including an object as a processing target based on a determination reference value (first determination processing), acquires a zoom-in image of the area determined to be the candidate for the area including the object in the first determination processing, and determines whether the acquired zoom-in image is an image of the object (second determination processing). The apparatus identifies an area, in the overall image, corresponding to the zoom-in image determined not to be the image of the object in the second determination processing, and performs control to update the determination reference value used in the first determination processing based on image information of the identified area in the overall image.
