Claim 8:
9. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to further:
receive an image of a target including the first image area including the target and the second image area surrounding the first image area and not including the target;
detect, in the first image area of the image, the plurality of predetermined key points;
select the plurality of line-draw groups in the image that each include the at least two key points of the plurality of predetermined key points;
form the texture map by drawing, for each of the line-draw groups, the line in the image passing through the at least two key points included in the each of the line-draw groups and having at least the end that is extended to the end of the image;
form the feature extracted image based on the texture map; and
apply the pose identification neural network as has been trained to the feature extracted image to identify the pose of the target in the image.
