Image processing device, image processing program, and imaging device computing brightness value and color phase value
An image processing device comprises: a brilliance gradient computation unit computing a brilliance gradient within an image based on an image information; a color phase value computation unit computing a first color phase value and a second color phase value, the first color phase value representing a color phase inside a candidate region determined based on the brilliance gradient computed by the brilliance gradient computation unit, the second color phase value representing a color phase in a region surrounding the candidate region; and a region extraction unit extracting a region from the candidate region such that a difference between the first color phase value and the second color phase value is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.
1. A non-transitory recording medium storing an image processing program making a computer execute the steps comprising:
a step computing a first brightness value representing a brightness of each portion within an image and a second brightness value representing a brightness of an area surrounding the each portion;
a step computing a first color phase value representing a color phase of the each portion and a second color phase value representing a color phase of the area surrounding the each portion; and
a step extracting a region comprising the each portion such that a difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value is greater than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value and such that a difference between the first color phase value and the second color phase value is not greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value.
2. An imaging device comprising:
an imaging unit capturing an image;
a brightness computation unit computing a first brightness value representing a brightness of each portion within the image captured by the imaging unit and a second brightness value representing a brightness of an area surrounding the each portion;
a color phase value computation unit computing a first color phase value representing a color phase of the each portion and a second color phase value representing a color phase of the area surrounding the each portion; and
a region extraction unit extracting a region comprising the each portion such that a difference between the first brightness value and the second brightness value is greater than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value and such that a difference between the first color phase value and the second color phase value is not greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value.
