SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus comprises; an image memory 20 for storing one object image; an image capturing section 21 for capturing the image from the memory to other memory or a register in a prescribed unit; a control section 22 for controlling the entire sections; a face feature storage section 24 for storing features of a plurality of faces; a recognition/discrimination section 23 for recognizing a face on the basis of data from the image capturing section 21 and data from the face feature storage section 24 to discriminate each part of the face; a face image segmentation section 26 for segmenting a prescribed face image from the resulting data; and an output section 25 for externally outputting the final determination result. |
