Abstract
An image processing device includes a data processing unit that processes data of a face image which is captured to include a face. The data processing unit generates an edge image by filtering the face image to detect an edge in a scanning direction, extracts a sampling value as the information regarding a gradient magnitude and whether the gradient is positive or negative from each of positions in the edge image corresponding to a plurality of points constituting the sampling curve, calculates a likelihood with respect to the sampling curve by setting points having a positive gradient and a negative gradient as likelihood evaluation targets in a first point group and a second point group, and detects a sampling curve having a maximum likelihood as a pupil or an iris among a plurality of sampling curves.
