ABSTRACT:
A face image processing apparatus, includes: a face region detecting unit configured to detect a face feature point of a person from a plurality of images picked up by a plurality of imaging units respectively, to detect a face region; a face feature extracting unit configured to extract a face feature from an image of the face region detected by the face region detecting unit; a person recognizing unit configured to calculate a similarity measure based on a face feature of a specific person being previously registered and the face feature extracted by the face feature extracting unit to recognize the person; and an output apparatus which outputs a recognition result in the person recognizing unit.
