Abstract
Provided are a photographing method and apparatus using face pose estimation. The photographing method includes: detecting a face area from an input image; estimating pose information in the detected face area; and determining a face direction based on the estimated pose information and recording the input image according to the face direction. Accordingly, when a face of a subject looks at something other than a camera, a picture is not taken, and thus a failed photograph is prevented.
