Claim Text:
1. A measurement target extracting apparatus that extracts a candidate for a three-dimensional shape measurement target among a plurality of face shape candidates, the apparatus comprising: a microcomputer arranged to: calculate, for each of the plurality of face shape candidates, a facial texture evaluation value representing a degree of match between a texture of an input face image and a texture of the face shape candidate; calculate, for each of the plurality of face shape candidates, first likelihood between a reference face shape and the face shape candidate as a facial expression changing likelihood; calculate, for each of the plurality of face shape candidates, a first correlation evaluation value representing a degree of correlation between the facial texture evaluation value and the first likelihood; and extract, from the plurality of face shape candidates, a face shape candidate having the first correlation evaluation value lower than a first threshold, as the measurement target.
