ABSTRACT:
A method of processing an image includes steps of identifying one candidate for a human face region within an image; calculating a probability that the candidate for human face region represents a human face; and saving the probability as attached information to the image. The method of processing an image can also include steps of identifying one candidate for human face region within an image; calculating a probability that the candidate for human face region represents a human face; judging whether or not the candidate for human face region represents a human face by comparing the probability with a threshold; and saving a result of the step of judging as attached information to the image. According to these methods, results of identifying candidates for human face regions will be saved to the image, and further processes to be conducted on the image can be facilitated.
