<p>Whether an obtained candidate face image is registered or not is appropriately determined. A similarity degree calculating unit calculates the degree of similarity between a candidate face image extracted by a face image extracting unit and a registration face image registered in a storage unit. An in-class variance calculating unit calculates an in-class variance of the degree of similarity of the registered person identified by a registered person identifying unit, and an inter-class variance calculating unit calculates an inter-class variance of the degree of similarity of each registered person registered in the storage unit. A variance ratio calculating unit calculates a variance ratio between the inter-class variance and the in-class variance, and on the basis of the calculated variance ratio, a registration determining unit determines whether a target face image is to be registered or not.</p> |
