1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image detection unit configured to detect whether an image matching a predetermined conditions exists in input video;
an image analyzing unit configured to acquire a feature data that is indicative of a feature of an image from the image detected by said image detection unit;
an image identifying unit configured to compare the feature data of a plurality of images detected by said image detection unit and identifying whether the images are images in which the same individual is shot;
a storage unit configured to store individual information of an individual identified by said image identifying unit anda combination of a plurality of individual information as an individual group;
an individual information selecting unit configured to select individual information from among a plurality of individual information;
an individual group retrieval unit configured to retrieve one or a plurality of individual groups that include the individual information selected by said individual information selecting unit; and
an interface unit configured to display a first list comprised of the one of the plurality of individual groups retrieved by said individual group retrieval unit,a second list including individual information selected by said individual information selecting unit, and a third list comprised of individual information which is included in individual groups including all individual information included in the second list and is not included in the second list,wherein the individual information selecting unit selects any one of the individual information from among the individual information included in the third list in response to a user designation, and the interface unit updates the second list by adding the individual information selected from the third list by the individual information selecting unit and updates the third list so as to correspond to the updated second list.

Abstract
The image processing apparatus displays a list of individual information from which individual information selected by the individual information selecting unit and individual information lapped over the individual information included in the retrieved individual groups are excluded from individual information included in individual groups retrieved by the individual group retrieval unit, and the individual group retrieval unit narrows down individual groups to be retrieved by adding on individual information designated from the individual information displayed in the list.
