Abstract: An image classification device includes a characteristic value set calculation unit 11 that calculates a characteristic value set of the whole image for each of multiple sets of image data in an image database 51, detects an edge of the set of the image data, and calculates a characteristic value set of the detected edge portions; a first clustering unit 12 that classifies the multiple sets of image data into multiple clusters on the basis of the characteristic value sets of the whole images; a second clustering unit 13 that further classifies the multiple clusters classified by the first clustering unit 12 into multiple clusters on the basis of the characteristic value sets of the edge portions; and a cluster integration unit 14 that determines which pixels constitutes a subject in each of the multiple sets of image data, based on the composition of the image, and integrates some of the multiple clusters classified by the second clustering unit 13 together based on the pixels constituting the subject.
