Provided is a face recognition apparatus which reduces a data transfer amount used in eye position detection processing and face feature extraction processing. First normalization means normalizes a face image to a certain size on a face image including a face detected by face detection means. Part detection means detects a part of the face by using a normalized face image. Second normalization means normalizes a face image to a certain size on a face image including the face detected by the face detection means. Feature extraction means extracts a feature amount of the face by using the normalized face image. Face image acquisition means acquires a face image to be processed by the normalization means by using a position and a size of the face detected by the face detection means. Face image acquisition selection means switches between a mode in which the face images to be used by the normalization means are individually acquired and a mode in which the face image is shared therebetween.
