Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus incudes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry generates, for N processed images based on an input image, N being an integer equal to greater than 3, N feature amounts by performing feature amount extraction processing using a neural network, stores process data generated during the feature amount extraction processing in a memory, selects a maximum feature amount by performing two or more comparisons with M combinations among the N feature amounts, M being an integer equal to 2 or more and (N−1) or less, and releases (M−1) or less pieces of process data that correspond to (M−1) or less feature amounts not having been selected from the memory for each of the two or more comparisons.
