In an object detecting method according to an aspect of the invention, a specific kind of object such as a human head can be detected with high accuracy even if the detecting target object appears in various shapes. The object detecting method includes a primary evaluated value computing step of applying plural filters to an image of an object detecting target to compute plural feature quantities and of obtaining a primary evaluated value corresponding to each-feature quantity; a secondary evaluated value computing step of obtaining a secondary evaluated value by integrating the plural primary evaluated values obtained in the primary evaluated value computing step; and a region extracting step of comparing the secondary evaluated value obtained in the secondary evaluated value computing step and a threshold to extract a region where an existing probability of the specific kind of object is higher than the threshold.
