Abstract
An image processing method and apparatus are provided. The image processing method includes obtaining an image frame including a face of a user, detecting a face area of the user in the image frame, classifying a type of an occlusion of the face area based on whether the occlusion is present in at least a portion of the face area, tracking an eye of the user based on the type of the occlusion, and outputting information about the face area including a position of the tracked eye.
Claims26
