Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information indicating a photographing position where an object has been photographed; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire photographic information based on photographic image data of the object; a determination unit configured to determine a reliability value which indicates how the positional information indicates a photographing position of contents expressed by the photographic image data based on the photographic information acquired by the second acquisition unit; and an associating unit configured to associate the reliability value determined by the determination unit with the photographic image data of the object, wherein the determination unit is configured to determine the reliability value by determining whether the photographic image data is image data acquired by photographing a flat object or not based on the photographic information acquired by the second acquisition unit, and wherein, the determination unit is configured, if the photographic image data is determined to be acquired by photographing a flat object, to bring the reliability value close to a value indicating a minimum level of reliability.
