1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a landmark amount input unit to input at least one landmark amount selected from a plurality of coordinate values to identify a shape of a face image or a plurality of grey-level values of texture of a face image, as the landmark amount of a face image included in an input image;
an image pickup condition input unit to input inclination of a face image in a depth direction as an image pickup condition of capturing said input image; and
an image space formation unit to form an image space by applying a statistical method on a plurality of said landmark amounts input through said landmark amount input unit and a plurality of image pickup conditions input through said image pickup condition input unit with respect to a plurality of face images.

Abstract
In order to eliminate influence due to difference in the image pickup condition from an input image, an image processing apparatus includes a landmark point data input unit to input coordinates of a landmark point of a face image input through an image input unit and the grey-level value of texture of a face image, an inclination amount input unit to input an inclination amount of a face image in the depth direction, and an image space formation unit forming an image space by carrying out principal component analysis on a plurality of landmark point data and a plurality of inclination amounts with respect to a plurality of the input face images.
