Abstract
A retrieval apparatus includes a first retrieval unit, a second retrieval unit, and an integration unit that calculates an integrated similarity by integrating a first similarity calculated by the first retrieval unit and a second similarity calculated by the second retrieval unit. For similarities between a basic image, an image similar to the basic image, and an image dissimilar to the basic image of the reference images, at least the feature extraction of the first retrieval unit is learned such that a margin based on a second similarity between the basic image and the similar image and a second similarity between the basic image and the dissimilar image increases as the second similarity between the basic image and the dissimilar image increases relative to the second similarity between the basic image and the similar image.
