A rotation angle detection apparatus which detects a rotation angle with respect to a reference disposition position of an object included in a detection subject image, includes: a plurality of kinds of pixel extraction pattern for extracting a plurality of pixels which detect an image feature amount from pixels configuring the detection subject image; a feature amount detector which detects, for each pixel extraction pattern, an image feature amount of the extracted plurality of pixels; a likelihood memory which stores a likelihood of the rotation angle, correlated in advance to the image feature amount, for each pixel extraction pattern; and a rotation angle determiner which determines a rotation angle which has a greatest likelihood, based on the image feature amount corresponding to each pixel extraction pattern and on the likelihood, as the rotation angle of the object.
