Abstract

See full text

A face image detecting method, detecting system and detecting program are provided. After dividing the detection target area into a plurality of blocks and dimensionally compressing the area, feature vectors including a representative value in each block are calculated and then a discriminator detects whether the face image exists or not in the detection target area by using the feature vectors. The discriminator detects after an image feature quantity is dimensionally compressed to the extent of not damaging the feature of face image. Since the number of image feature items to be used for discrimination is substantially reduced from the number of pixels within the detection target area to that of blocks, the number of operations drastically decreases and a face image can be quickly detected.
