Abstract

A disclosure describes a learning image collection apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, a calculation unit, and a selection unit. The acquisition unit acquires an image including a target object. The extraction unit extracts, from the image, a plurality of candidate areas being candidates for the target object. The calculation unit calculates one of a first degree of similarity, a second degree of similarity, and a third degree of similarity, the first degree of similarity being a degree of similarity between one of the candidate areas and a predetermined area, the second degree of similarity being a degree of similarity between a size of the target object and a predetermined size, the third degree of similarity being a degree of similarity between the plurality of candidate areas. The selection unit selects one of the candidate areas as a target object area including the target object.
