An image processing apparatus which recognizes a main subject from an image to be recognized includes an image feature value generating module, an extra-image feature value acquiring module, a scene recognition module, a scene and main-subject correlation storage module, and a main subject recognition module. The scene recognition module recognizes scene information of the image, based on an image feature value generated by the image feature value generating module and an extra-image feature value acquired by the extra-image feature value acquiring module. The main subject recognition module estimates main subject candidates, by using the recognized scene information and correlation between scene information and main subjects typical of the respective scene information stored in the scene and main-subject correlation storage module.
