Abstract:
Provided is an image processing apparatus that determines crop positions for an image including a plurality of objects in a preferred manner. This image processing apparatus specifies object regions from the image, and sets a plurality of crop region candidates for each of the specified object regions. The image processing apparatus selects a predetermined number of crop regions from among the plurality of crop region candidates based on evaluation values obtained for the plurality of crop region candidates and on similarities among the plurality of crop region candidates.
