Abstract
An image generator configured to generate a face detecting image used in face detection processing of detecting a face from an image, has a representative luminance calculator that calculates a representative luminance value representing a luminance value of each pixel of a photographed image obtained by photographing; and a gamma converter that generates the face detecting image by performing gamma conversion processing on the photographed image. The luminance value of each pixel of the image is converted using a predetermined gamma value. The gamma converter performs the gamma conversion processing using a first gamma value when the representative luminance value calculated by the representative luminance calculator is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
