PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve the efficiency and high speed operation of processing for detecting the position of the characteristic site of the face included in an image. SOLUTION: An image processor for detecting the coordinate position of the characteristic site of the face included in an image under consideration includes: a face region detection part for detecting an image region including at least a portion of the face image from the image under consideration as a face region; an initial position setting part for setting the initial position of a characteristic point set in the image under consideration for detecting the coordinate position of the characteristic site from the candidates of a plurality of initial positions to be set based on the face region detection information as information related with the detection of the face image; and a characteristic position detection part for correcting the setting position of the characteristic point set at the initial position to be close to the position of the characteristic site, and for detecting the corrected setting position as the coordinate position of the characteristic site.
