See full text

An image analysis unit of an image processing apparatus acquires a distribution condition of feature points in an entire input image and in each of a plurality of small regions in the input image. A target point number setting unit sets a target point number for each small region based on the distribution condition of feature points in the entire input image. An expected point number setting unit sets an expected point number for each small region based on the distribution condition of feature points in the small region. A comparison unit compares the target point number and the expected point number. A sensitivity setting unit sets detection sensitivity based on the comparison result. A feature point detection unit performs feature point detection according to the detection sensitivity.
