An object is to provide a face pose estimating device, a face pose estimating method, and a face pose estimating program that allow high accuracy estimation of a face pose even if a face organ cannot be detected from an image. A face organ detectorof the face pose estimating devicedetects a face organ from an image frame. A face pose candidate set generatorgenerates a face pose candidate set. A first similarity estimatorcomputes 3D-model-based similarities. A second similarity estimatorcomputes appearance-based similarities. A first likelihood estimatorcomputes a first likelihood corresponding to the 3D-model-based similarity. A second likelihood estimatorcomputes a second likelihood corresponding to the appearance-based similarities. An integrated likelihood estimatorcomputes an integrated likelihood by using the first and second likelihoods. A face pose estimatorestimates the face pose by using the integrated likelihood.
