Abstract
An object determining device for selecting a target face for processing from plural faces in an image, includes a face detecting unit that detects faces from an image; a face information recording unit that records the face detected in the past by the face detecting unit and the detection history relating to this detection as associated with each other; and a face selecting unit that selects a target face for processing, from the faces included in the image based upon the detection history. The object determining device includes a face information updating unit that, in a case where the face detected by the face detecting unit is not present in the face information recording unit, newly registers the face, and in a case where the face is present, updates the face information.
