<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify even difference in an edge pattern caused by difference in positional relation between edges to improve identification accuracy of a person image, for example. <P>SOLUTION: A feature value calculation part 105 calculates the number (a three-dimensional histogram) of edge pixels prescribed by a direction of the edge of a prescribed pixel, an edge direction of the edge pixel present in a nearby area of the prescribed pixel, and spatial position relation with the edge pixel present in the nearby area of the prescribed pixel as a feature value S5. Thereby, the feature value S5 representing even the positional relation between the edges can be obtained. As a result, even the difference in the edge pattern caused by the difference in the positional relation between the edges can be identified to improve the identification accuracy of the person image, for example. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
