Abstract
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus including: an image acquisition unit acquiring a candidate of a query image; a skeletal structure detection unit detecting a two-dimensional skeletal structure of a person included in a candidate of the query image; a query evaluation unit computing an evaluation value of a candidate of the query image, based on a detection result of the two-dimensional skeletal structure; a selection unit selecting a query image out of candidates of the query image, based on the evaluation value; a feature value computation unit computing a feature value of the two-dimensional skeletal structure detected from the query image; and a retrieval unit retrieving an analysis target image including a person in a pose similar to a pose of a person included in the query image out of analysis target images, based on a degree of similarity of the computed feature value.
