1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing one or more instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
acquire a video frame, and detect a person from the acquired video frame;
determine whether the detected person satisfies a predetermined condition including a condition that the detected person is indicated in a permission list; and
in a case in which the predetermined condition has been satisfied such that the detected person is in the permission list, perform, on an image region in the video frame including the detected person, first treatment processing to make the detected person more difficult to identify in the image region; and
in a case in which the predetermined condition has not been satisfied such that the detected person is not in the permission list:
do not perform the first treatment process such that the detected person is not made more difficult to identify in the image region;
determine a degree of suspiciousness of the detected person; and
perform, on the image region including the detected person, second treatment processing based on the determined degree of suspiciousness, wherein
the second treatment processing is
in a case in which the degree of suspiciousness is equal to or more than a threshold value, processing of emphasizing the image region including the detected person; and
in a case in which the degree of suspiciousness is smaller than the threshold value, processing of making the detected person more difficult to identify in the image region.
