摘要

An image processing apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor comprising hardware, the processor being configured to output a result of classifying an image group to be classified based on a result of main learning performed based on a result of preliminary learning and a target image group to be learned, the preliminary learning being performed based on a similar image group similar in at least one of characteristics of a shape of an object in the target image group, a tissue structure of an object in the target image group, and an imaging system of a device that captures the target image group, wherein the similar image group is different from the image group to be classified in the main learning.
