Abstract:
1. A face recognizing apparatus comprising: a storage that stores face feature information on a face feature of each person; at least one processor wherein the at least one processor wherein the at least one processor calculates a moving average of coordinates of the face feature points detected for the frame images, and corrects the coordinates of a face feature point failing to satisfy the predetermined detection accuracy based on the calculated moving average, wherein the at least one processor calculates a direction of a face detected based on the face feature point detected for each of the frame images, calculates a face angle based on the direction of the face for each of the frame images, and calculates a weight value used to calculate the moving average, wherein, when the face angle for a particular frame image falls below a threshold, the processor determines that the direction of the face has changed from being oriented toward a frontal direction to being oriented toward a non-frontal direction, and in response, decreases the weight value for face feature points in the particular frame image, thereby changing the calculated moving average, wherein the at least one processor sets the weight value for a region displaying the face to a higher value than the weight value for a region not displaying the face.
