1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a feature extraction unit adapted to extract a plurality of predetermined features in an object from input image data;
a determination unit adapted to determine whether all of the plurality of predetermined features have been extracted;
a first weight setting unit adapted to set weights preset in advance for the plurality of predetermined features when it is determined that all of the plurality of predetermined features have been extracted;
a second weight setting unit adapted to set respective weights for the features extracted by said feature extraction unit when it is determined that there are features which have not been extracted by said feature extraction unit, wherein the respective weights for the extracted features are determined in accordance with which features have not been extracted from among the plurality of predetermined features; and
a recognition processing unit adapted to execute recognition processing of the object based on the features weighted by said first or second weight setting unit,wherein a processor is included in said apparatus.

Abstract
A feature point detection unit (153) and feature amount extraction unit (154) extract a plurality of features of an object from input image data. When there are unextracted features of the plurality of features, a weight setting unit (155) sets weights for the extracted features. A facial expression determination unit (156) executes recognition processing of the object based on the features weighted by the weight setting unit (155).
