Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores person relationship information representing relationships between people as a subject in a storage medium; an acquisition unit which acquires image data generated by imaging people as a subject; a detection unit which detects each person in an image; a specification unit which specifies each person detected from the image by the detection unit; and a determination unit which determines the relationship between multiple people detected from the image. When at least one person from among the people detected from the image is specified and another person is unable to be specified, the specification unit may specify the at least one other person on the basis of the relationship between the multiple people and the person relationship information.
