An object identification apparatus, which identifies a class of a plurality of registered classes to which an object included in an input image belongs, registers a plurality of registered images used in identification of an input image, and holds designation data required to designate partial areas used in identification. The apparatus extracts feature amounts of the partial areas designated by the designation data from the input image and each of the plurality of registered images, and identifies a class to which the input image belongs based on the extracted feature amounts. The apparatus determines based on the plurality of registered images whether or not is required to update processing contents of an identification unit. When it is determined that the processing contents are required to be updated, the apparatus updates the designation data based on registered images.
