Abstract

An image processing apparatus is configured to acquire a query image including a subject that is a search target, and an image to be searched, extract a first feature vector that represents features of the search target included in the query image, extract a feature vector map that represents feature vectors of a subject at each position of the image to be searched, perform an arithmetic operation based on the first feature vector and the feature vector map to obtain a heat map that represents the likelihood that the search target is present.
