Abstract

The robustness of discriminating results at each stage is improved in discrimination processing in which a plurality of stages of discriminators are used to identify an object. An information processing apparatus in which a plurality of stages of the discriminators are used to identify a class of an object, comprises a candidate class output unit that acquires as a candidate class a class discriminated at a first stage of the discriminators, and an extended class setting unit that sets in a second stage of the discriminators, a class of a second stage of the discriminators, which is defined as an extended partial space of a partial space defined by a candidate class in a discriminating space used in discriminating the candidate class by the first stage of the discriminators, as a class to be discriminated at this second stage of the discriminators.
