Abstract: Provided is an image retrieval device capable of retrieving a search target image a user wants accurately in a short time in response to an input image. An image retrieval device (100) compares search target image feature amounts based on an attribute of search target images to be searched and an input image feature amount based on an attribute of an input image and extracts an image similar to the input image. In this case, each of the feature amounts comprises a first feature amount expressing a global relative positional relation of each pixel constituting an image with respect to pixels of the entire image, and a second feature amount expressing a local relative positional relation of each pixel constituting each of the images with respect to its adjacent pixels.
