Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes first and second designation units designating first and second image groups, an analysis unit analyzing images included in the first and second image groups, a determination unit determining a reference, based on an analysis result of the second image group, and a selection unit selecting a first image group image, based on the reference and an analysis result of the first image group. As the reference, the determination unit determines a score reference that gives a score to an image. A scoring unit scores the first image group, based on the score reference and the first image group analysis result. The selection unit selects an image from the first image group, based on an obtained score. The determination unit determines the score reference that uses at least one of an average value and a median value of the analysis result of the second image group.
