Appareil de traitement d'informations, procédé pour déterminer le degré d'ouverture/fermeture de l'oeil, support de stockage lisible sur ordinateur, et appareil de détection d'image
An information processing apparatus inputs an image, detects the face of a person from the input image, and calculates a feature amount associated with the open/closed state of eyes of the detected face. In addition, the information processing apparatus calculates, as a feature-change amount, the difference between the calculated feature amount and a predetermined feature amount, and calculates the eye open/closed degree of eyes of the detected face on the basis of the feature amount and the feature-change amount.
