The present disclosure relates to detecting the location of a face feature point using an Adaboost learning algorithm. According to some embodiments, a method for detecting a location of a face feature point comprises: (a) a step of classifying a sub-window image into a first recommended feature point candidate image and a first non-recommended feature point candidate image using first feature patterns selected by an Adaboost learning algorithm, and generating first feature point candidate location information on the first recommended feature point candidate image; and (b) a step of re-classifying said sub-window image classified into said first non-recommended feature point candidate image, into a second recommended feature point candidate image and a second non-recommended feature point candidate image using second feature patterns selected by the Adaboost learning algorithm, and generating second feature point candidate location information on the second recommended feature point recommended candidate image.
