Abstract
A position and a posture of a virtual face is searched so that a total cost E of a first cost Eand a second cost Eis approximated to a smallest value or a minimum value. A first cost E(e) corresponds to a sum of elastic energy with a first deviation e(s) as a deformation amount, of a virtual spring group having a value of a first coefficient function w(e(s)) in a target region of a standard image as a spring coefficient. A second cost E(e, e) corresponds to a sum of elastic energy with a second deviation eas a deformation amount, of a virtual spring group having a value of a second coefficient function w(e(s) of each pixel s included in the target region of the standard image as a spring coefficient.
