Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a skin area detection unit configured to detect a skin area of an object person, a difference area detection unit configured to detect a difference area between the visible light image and the infrared light image, a correction target area detection unit configured to detect a correction target area of the object person based on the skin area detected by the skin area detection unit and the difference area detected by the difference area detection unit, and a correction unit configured to correct the correction target area in the visible light image.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus which executes image processing by using a visible light image and an infrared light image, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
- a skin area detection unit configured to detect a skin area of an object person;
- a difference area detection unit configured to detect a difference area between the visible light image and the infrared light image;
- a correction target area detection unit configured to detect a correction target area of the object person based on the skin area detected by the skin area detection unit and the difference area detected by the difference area detection unit;
- and
- a correction unit configured to correct the correction target area in the visible light image.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to capture a visible light image and an infrared light image;
- and
- an image processing apparatus which executes image processing by using a visible light image and an infrared light image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
- a skin area detection unit configured to detect a skin area of an object person;
- a difference area detection unit configured to detect a difference area between the visible light image and the infrared light image;
- a correction target area detection unit configured to detect a correction target area of the object person based on the skin area detected by the skin area detection unit and the difference area detected by the difference area detection unit;
- and
- a correction unit configured to correct the correction target area in the visible light image.
An image processing method for executing image processing by using a visible light image and an infrared light image, the method comprising:
- detecting a skin area of an object person;
- detecting a difference area between the visible light image and the infrared light image;
- detecting a correction target area of the object person based on the detected skin area and the detected difference area;
- and
- correcting the correction target area in the visible light image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute following operations of image processing using a visible light image and an infrared light image, the operations comprising:
- detecting a skin area of an object person;
- detecting a difference area between the visible light image and the infrared light image;
- detecting a correction target area of the object person based on the detected skin area and the detected difference area;
- and
- correcting the correction target area in the visible light image.
