Abstract
In a method of detecting a face in various directions in a target image with use of detectors, a partial image cut sequentially from the target image is subjected to mirror reversal processing and rotation processing in 90 degree increments for generating reversed/rotated images of the partial image. The detectors of predetermined types judge whether the respective images represent face images in predetermined face directions and orientations. Based on combinations of the types of the detectors and the types of the input images, faces in various face directions and orientations can be judged.
