Central location of a face detecting device, method and program

摘要

A central location of a face detectirig device having an image input means (24) for inputting a captured face image, characterized in that the central location of a face detecting device further comprises a horizontal edge detecting means (24) for detecting a horizontal edge having a predetermined vertical length based on the face image inputted by the image input means and a central location of a face detecting means (14, 23) for calculating an average value of a horizontal location data of the horizontal edge detected by the horizontal edge detecting means, and determining the average value as a central location of the face.
