Abstract
According to one embodiment, a face recognizing apparatus includes: a storage unit; an input unit; a face detector; an extractor; and a recognizing unit. The storage unit stores face feature information on a face feature of each person. The input unit receives image information including at least a face of a person. The face detector detects a face region of the face of the person from the image information received by the input unit. The extractor extracts face feature information on a face feature from the face region detected by the face detector. The recognizing unit recognizes the person in the image information received by the input unit based on the feature information extracted by the extracting unit and the face feature information stored in the storage unit.
