Abstract
[PROBLEMS] To accurately calculate similarity between media data and a query even if the media data or its meta data has an error. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A similarity calculation device includes: a single score calculation device used when calculating similarity between first media data and a query, which calculates a single score that shows similarity between second media data different from the first media data and the query; an inter-media similarity calculation device which calculates inter-media similarity that shows the similarity between the second media data and the first media data; and a query similarity calculation device which obtains similarity between the first media data and the query by using the inter-media similarity of the second media data and the single score.
