1. An image processing method, comprising:
obtaining an input image;
identifying a first face in the input image;
dividing the first face into a plurality of regions;
identifying obstructions in one or more of the plurality of regions;
selecting a subset of regions based on the identified obstructions;
determining a first white point based, at least in part, on the selected subset of regions;
identifying a second one or more faces in the input image;
dividing the second one or more faces into a second plurality of regions;
identifying second obstructions in one or more of the second plurality of regions;
selecting a second subset of regions based on the identified second obstructions;
determining a second white point further based, at least in part, on the selected second subset of regions; and
performing a white balancing operation on the input image based, at least in part, on the determined first white point and the determined second white point.
