Abstract:
1. An image processing method comprising: a step of capturing image signals converted from an image; a judgment step of judging whether the captured image signal values are signal values representing skin color pixel regions in the image; a skin color correction step of calculating skin color correction signal values in the case that it has been judged that said captured image signal values are signal values representing said skin color pixel regions; and a reconstruction step of reconstructing the image by applying said skin color correction signal values to said skin color pixel regions and by applying the captured image signal values to which skin color correction is not performed to pixel regions other than said skin color pixel regions, wherein a first white balance correction step of performing white balance correction to said skin color correction signal values is provided, and said image signal values are R said image processing method has: an inverse correction step of performing inverse correction to said R a step of converting said R said judgment step judges whether said Y said skin color correction step performs skin color correction to said Y said image processing method has: a step of converting said Y a step of converting said Y a second white balance correction step of performing white balance correction to said R said first white balance correction step performs said white balance correction to said R said reconstruction step reconstructs the image by applying said R
