In a method for extracting an object image, an extraction area for extraction of a candidate for a predetermined object image from an image is determined. The center point of a view window, which has a predetermined size, is caused to travel to the position of the candidate for the predetermined object image. The extraction area is determined in accordance with the size and/or the shape of the candidate for the predetermined object image, the center point of the view window being taken as a reference during the determination of the extraction area. The extraction of the candidate for the predetermined object image is carried out by using a neural network. Even if a plurality of object images, which are to be extracted, are embedded in a given image, the object images are extracted efficiently such that an object image, which has already been extracted, may not be extracted again.
