Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus which performs, at multiple stages by a series-connected processing step group and one processing step group out of a plurality of processing step groups connected to a final step of the processing step group via branches, verification processing between an input image and a parameter while referring to the parameter having data to identify an object in the input image, comprising: a first storage unit configured to store a predetermined fixed parameter; a second storage unit configured to store a variable parameter different from the fixed parameter to be able to rewrite the variable parameter; a calculation unit configured to perform verification processing to identify the object from the input image by referring to one of the fixed parameter and the variable parameter in one of the series-connected processing step group and one processing step group out of the plurality of processing step groups; a determination unit configured to determine, based on a calculation result of said calculation unit, whether said calculation unit executes the verification processing next in the series-connected processing step group or one processing step group out of the plurality of processing step groups connected via the branches; and a selection unit configured to select, based on a determination result of said determination unit and the calculation result of said calculation unit, one of the fixed parameter and the variable parameter to be referred to next by said calculation unit, wherein at least one processor functions as at least one of the units.
