Abstract

An image processing apparatus stores model information representing a subject model belonging to a specific category, detects the subject from an input image by referring to the model information, determines a region for which an image correction is to be performed within a region occupied by the detected subject in the input image, stores, for a local region of the image, a plurality of correction data sets representing correspondence between a feature vector representing a feature before correction and a feature vector representing a feature after correction, selects at least one of the correction data sets to be used to correct a local region included in the region determined to undergo the image correction, and corrects the region determined to undergo the image correction using the selected correction data sets.
