Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a first learner trained to detect an orientation of a face in an image including a human face for receiving an input of a target image including a human face and outputting first information associated with an orientation of a face included in the target image, at least one second learner trained, for the first information, to detect a position of a facial component in an image including a human face for receiving an input of the target image and outputting second information associated with a position of a facial component included in the target image, and a control unit that controls the first learner and the second learner. The control unit uses the first learner to obtain the first information from the target image, and uses the second learner corresponding to the first information to obtain the second information from the target image.
