ABSTRACT:
A face detection device includes a face learning dictionary, which holds learned information for identification between a facial image and a non-facial image. An image input unit inputs a subject image. An edge image extraction unit extracts an edge image from the subject image. A partial image extraction unit, based on the edge image, extracts partial images that are candidates to contain facial images from the subject image. A face
on-face identification unit references the learning dictionary to identify whether or not each extracted partial image contains a facial image. Face detection of high precision, which reflects learned results, is performed.
