Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing method comprising the steps of:

• receiving a facial image;
• generating, based on a plurality of classifiers for computing the suitability of feature points of a face, a reliability image indicating the suitability for each feature point from the facial image;
• obtaining a candidate position of the feature point in the facial image based on the reliability image;
• and
• determining a feature point that satisfies conditions based on a position corresponding to each of the feature points of one facial shape model selected from a plurality of statistically generated facial shape models and the candidate position of the feature point, and calculating a conformity to the facial shape model.

A non-transitory, information processing device-readable storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing device to execute the steps of:

• receiving a facial image;
• generating, based on a plurality of classifiers for computing the suitability of feature points of a face, a reliability image indicating the suitability for each feature point from the facial image;
• obtaining a candidate position of the feature point in the facial image based on the reliability image;
• and
• determining a feature point that satisfies conditions based on a position corresponding to each of the feature points of one facial shape model selected from a plurality of statistically generated facial shape models and the candidate position of the feature point, and calculating a conformity to the facial shape model.
