Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to enable learning of a neural network for extracting features of images having high robustness from an undiscriminating image region while minimizing the number of parameters of a pooling layer. A parameter learning unit 130 learns parameters of each layer in a convolutional neural network configured by including a fully convolutional layer for performing convolution of an input image to output a feature tensor of the input image, a weighting matrix estimation layer for estimating a weighting matrix indicating a weighting of each element of the feature tensor, and a pooling layer for extracting a feature vector of the input image based on the feature tensor and the weighting matrix. The parameter learning unit 130 learns the parameters such that a loss function value obtained by calculating a loss function expressed by using a distance between a first feature vector of a first image and a second feature vector of a second image, which are relevant images and are obtained by applying the convolutional neural network, becomes smaller.
