PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately detect objects such as faces without increasing the number of identifying apparatuses. SOLUTION: A plurality of identifying apparatuses different in face direction to be identified are used to discriminate faces. The identifying apparatuses comprise a plurality of weak identifying apparatuses. The identifying apparatuses are classified into a prestage weak identifying apparatus group WC-F for determining a face direction, and a poststage weak identifying apparatus group WC-B for identifying a face facing the direction that can be identified by each of the identifying apparatuses. The pre- and post-stage weak identifying apparatus groups WC-F and WC-B produce first and second scores, respectively. A face is detected according to the sum of products of the first and second scores in each identifying apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
