ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes the following elements. An evaluation information storage section stores a plurality of evaluation information sets for determinations as to whether an image subjected to determination is a target image. An image input section inputs an image. A face detection section detects a face included in the input image. A normalization section normalizes a face image that is an image segment including the detected face so that the face image has a predetermined resolution. A feature extraction section extracts a feature amount of the normalized face image. An attribute information generation section makes a determination on the basis of the extracted feature amount and each evaluation information set as to whether the face image is the target image associated with the evaluation information set, and generating an attribute information block related to the face included in the face image as the result of determination.
