ABSTRACT:
A luminance image which is formed by luminance components of an image is generated, and a plurality of reduced-scale images by recursively reducing the luminance image are generated. Positions of eye candidate regions from each of the reduced-scale images are detected, it is determined that whether or not a face candidate region which is specified by positions of the detected two eye candidate regions is a face pattern. If the face candidate region is determined not as the face pattern, neighboring regions in the neighborhood of the positions of the eye candidate regions in the face region are set. It is determined whether or not a face candidate region which is specified by a first position in one neighboring region and a second position in the other neighboring region as positions of eye candidate regions, is the face pattern.
