Abstract

An image processing apparatus comprising: a learning unit configured to perform learning of a discriminator based on an image feature amount in a first image and a class of the first image defined by a first granularity; an evaluation unit configured to evaluate an image feature amount in a second image whose class is known by the discriminator after the learning; and a control unit configured to control the learning unit to, in a case in which the evaluation by the evaluation unit is that a predetermined criterion is not satisfied, perform the learning of the discriminator based on the image feature amount in the first image and a class of the first image defined by a second granularity coarser than the first granularity.
