An image processing apparatus includes a face-image detector configured to detect a region of a face image from an image supplied thereto; a face-direction detector configured to detect a direction that a face in the detected face image is facing; a feature-position detector configured to detect feature positions corresponding to features of the face from the detected face image and the detected face direction; a feature-value calculator configured to calculate feature values at the detected feature positions; a mapper configured to map the calculated feature values using predetermined mapping functions; and a recognizer configured to recognize whether the detected face is a registered face, using the mapped feature values and feature values registered in advance. |
