Abstract: A face recognition technology that enables high-speed determination of erroneous detection of face regions and high-precision face recognition by means of a first face recognition processing unit of relatively low accuracy for detecting a face region of a person on each captured image captured by a monitor camera, and a second face recognition processing unit for performing face recognition of a person more accurately with respect to the detected face region transmitted from the first face recognition processing unit. The second face recognition. processing unit determines that the first face recognition processing unit has erroneously detected when the second face recognition processing unit is not able to recognize a face region on the detected face region transmitted from the first face recognition processing unit, and the first face recognition processing unit calculates and self-learns a barycentric coordinate of the detected face region as a point mask position. Thereafter, the first face recognition.

Abstract: A first AR analyzer (3A) analyzes a first captured image including an AR marker image captured by a camera (1), determines the appearance of the AR marker image in the field of view in the first captured image, and virtually places a corresponding CG at an appropriate position in the field of view corresponding to the AR marker image; a second AR analyzer (3B) calculates appearance of the CG object in another field of view of the camera in a second captured image subsequently captured by the camera; a CG rendering unit (5) composites an image of the CG object at an appropriate position in the second captured image corresponding to the appropriate appearance; and a display unit (7) displays the composite image, so that the apparatus can composite and display a CG object in real time on a digital image of a natural landscape captured by a camera.
