An image retrieving device for classifying and retrieving an image by
detecting an object in the image and adding a keyword comprises an image
storing section for storing the image which is supposed to be classified
and retrieved together with the keyword in a database, an object
acknowledging section for acknowledging a predetermined object in the
image which is inputted, a keyword proposing section for proposing the
keyword which relates to the object which is acknowledged by the object
acknowledging section, and an object information inputting section for
