Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes: a database configured to, out of images extracted with a first frequency from the images making up a moving image content, register first layer summary data of a first size; a distance calculation block configured to calculate the distance between the first layer summary data based on the distance between vectors of which the elements are formed by the first layer summary data registered in the database; and a classification section configured to cluster into the same class the first layer summary data between which the distance calculated by the distance calculation block falls within a predetermined distance, the classification section further clustering moving image contents into a plurality of classes based on the classes into which the first layer summary data have been clustered.
