Abstract
Upon extraction of a human figure region in an image, a face or facial part is detected in the image, and a candidate region that is deemed to include the human figure region is determined from position information of the detected face or facial part. Judgment is made as to whether each unit region having 2 pixels or more and comprising the candidate region represents the human figure region, and a set of the unit regions having been judged to represent the human figure region is determined as an estimated region which is estimated to include the human figure region. The human figure region is then extracted in the determined estimated region.
