Abstract:
1. An image processing device for detecting a skin region representing a skin of a subject from a pickup image obtained by imaging the subject, the image processing device comprising: a first irradiating device configured to irradiate the subject with light of a first wavelength; a second irradiating device configured to irradiate the subject with light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength; an image pickup section configured to: a calculating section configured to determine a difference image by determining a difference between luminance values of corresponding pixels of the first pickup image and the second pickup image; an adjusting section configured to adjust the intensity of irradiation light of the first wavelength from the first irradiating means for the first pickup image and adjust the intensity of irradiation light of the second wavelength from the second irradiating means for the second pickup image so that pixel values of a skin region in the difference image are at least greater than a skin detection enabling value; and a skin detecting section configured to detect the skin region in at least one of the first pickup image and the second pickup image on a basis of the adjusted first pickup image and the adjusted second pickup image.
