Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method, and Program

摘要

An information processing apparatus that compares a query image and a model image and provides support information for discriminating a subject of the model image from a subject of the query image is disclosed. The information processing apparatus includes: a feature point extracting means extracting one or more feature points from the model image; a feature describing means describing features of the one or more feature points extracted by the feature point extracting means; and a discrimination capability value calculating means generating correlation images among the features described by the feature describing means, the extracted model image, and one or more other model images for the one or more feature points extracted by the feature point extracting means, and calculating a discrimination capability value indicating the degree of contribution to discriminating the subject of the model image on the basis of the correlation images.
