Claim Text:
1. An image processing apparatus for detecting an object in an image, comprising: an input unit configured to input an image; an image rotating unit configured to rotate the image in a predetermined angle; and a detection unit configured to perform both of detection of an object inclined at angles within a first angle range in the image input by the input unit and detection of an object inclined at angles within a second angle range in the image rotated by the image rotation unit; wherein the second angle range is narrower than the first angle range, wherein the detection unit is configured to perform object detection processing by a split AdaBoosting with a first number of splits for detecting an object inclined at angles within the first angle range in the image input by the input unit, and to perform the object detection processing by the split AdaBoosting with a second number of splits for detecting an object inclined at angles within the second angle range in the image rotated by the image rotating unit, and wherein the second number of splits is smaller than the first number of splits.
