Description

The image processing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a human body detection means for detecting a region of a human body from an image; an image generation means for generating from the image a first cropped image including the region of a human body detected by the human body detection means and a second cropped image including the region of a human body but different from the first cropped image; a joint point detection means for detecting joint points of the human body from the first cropped image and generating joint point information of the human body; a conversion means for converting the joint point information to correspond to the spatial information of the second cropped image; and a posture estimation means for estimating the posture of the human body based on the joint point information converted by the conversion means and the second cropped image, wherein the posture estimation means estimates the posture of the human body using a deep learning model comprising: a first feature extraction layer that outputs a first feature quantity from the joint point information converted by the conversion means; a second feature extraction layer that outputs a second feature quantity from the second cropped image; a coupling layer that combines the first feature quantity and the second feature quantity; and a discrimination layer that estimates the posture using the combined feature quantity .
