ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide an image retrieval system for computing similarity in the case when components are different between an image feature vector of a query image and the image feature vectors of images to be retrieved when retrieval is carried out by using features of images. A first image feature vector conversion device converts a query image feature vector into a first image feature vector for use in a similarity computation according to similarity computation image feature vector configuration information describing a given configuration of an image feature vector for use in a similarity computation. A second image feature vector conversion device converts an images-to-be-retrieved feature vector into a second image feature vector for use in a similarity computation according to the similarity computation image feature vector configuration information. The image feature vector similarity computation devices compare the first image feature vector with the second image feature vector according to the similarity computation image feature vector configuration information, and compute the similarity.
