IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus configured to correct at least part of a face image, comprising:
- an image acquisition unit that acquires an input image;
a region extraction unit that extracts a pupil region, which is a region corresponding to an eye of a person, from the input image;
a pixel extraction unit that extracts a pixel from the pupil region whose brightness value is higher than a threshold value;
a determination unit that determines, based on the result of extraction performed by the pixel extraction unit, whether or not halation has occurred in the pupil region; and
a correction unit that performs, based on the result of determination performed by the determination unit, processing for correcting halation on the pupil region,wherein the pixel extraction unit sets the threshold value based on a bias of a brightness distribution of the pixels included in the pupil region.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus configured to correct at least part of a face image has an image acquisition unit that acquires an input image, a region extraction unit that extracts a pupil region, which is a region corresponding to an eye of a person, from the input image, a pixel extraction unit that extracts a pixel from the pupil region whose brightness value is higher than a threshold value, a determination unit that determines, based on the result of extraction performed by the pixel extraction unit, whether or not halation has occurred in the pupil region, and a correction unit that performs, based on the result of determination performed by the determination unit, processing for correcting halation on the pupil region. The pixel extraction unit sets the threshold value based on a bias of a brightness distribution of the pixels included in the pupil region.

11. An image processing apparatus configured to correct halation that has occurred in a face image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
-
an image acquisition unit configured to that acquires an input image; a region extraction unit that extracts a pupil region, which is a region corresponding to an eye of a person, from the input image; a determination unit that determines whether or not halation has occurred in the pupil region; and a correction unit that performs, in the case where halation has occurred in the pupil region, correction by pasting a corresponding pupil image on the target pupil region.

12. An image processing method that corrects at least part of a face image, comprising:
-
an image acquisition step of acquiring an input image; a region extraction step of extracting a pupil region, which is a region corresponding to an eye of a person, from the input image; a pixel extraction step of extracting a pixel from the pupil region whose brightness value is higher than a threshold value; a determination step of determining whether or not halation has occurred in the pupil region based on the result of extraction performed in the pixel extraction step; and a correction step of performing processing for correcting halation with respect to the pupil region, based on the result of determination performed in the determination step, wherein in the determination step, the threshold value is set based on a bias of a brightness distribution of the pixels included in the pupil region.
