Abstract

An image processing device includes an acquirer which acquires a face image and a controller. The controller generates an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space on a basis of the face image acquired by the acquirer, detects a particular image region in the generated image by setting multiple sizes, and sets the detected image region as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed.

Claims (44)

1. An image processing device comprising:

an acquirer which acquires a face image; and

a controller, wherein the controller:

generates an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the face image acquired by the acquirer,

detects a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image by setting multiple sizes of the particular image region each of which is smaller than a size of the face image based on the generated image, and

sets the detected particular image region as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the multiple kinds of parameter define a specific direction of a color difference component, and

the controller sets the detected particular image region as the region on which the designated processing is to be performed based on a size of the particular image region and an edge detection result of the image of a particular direction of the color difference component.

3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particular image region is a local region of melasma in the face image.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the multiple kinds of parameter are a luminance component, and

the controller sets the particular image region as the region on which the designated processing is to be performed based on a size of the detected particular image region and an edge detection result of the luminance component.

5. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particular image region is a region in which a mole exists in the face image.

6. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller sets multiple kinds of size of the particular image region to be detected using ring filters in multiple sizes provided in advance, to detect the particular image region in relation to the surrounding pixels in the face image.

7. An image processing device comprising:

an acquirer which acquires a face image; and

a controller, wherein the controller:

generates an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the face image acquired by the acquirer,

detects a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image based on the generated image,

determines a size of the detected particular image region, and

sets the detected image region as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed based on the determined size of the detected particular image region.

8. An image processing method comprising:

acquiring a face image;

generating an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the acquired face image;

detecting a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image by setting multiple sizes of the particular image region each of which is smaller than a size of the face image based on the generated image; and

setting the particular image region detected in the detecting as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed.

9. An image processing method comprising:

acquiring a face image;

generating an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the acquired face image;

detecting a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image based on the generated image;

determining a size of the detected particular image region; and

setting the particular image region detected in the detecting as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed based on the determined size of the particular image region.

10. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program which causes a computer to:

acquire a face image;

generate an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the acquired face image;

detect a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image by setting multiple sizes of the particular image region each of which is smaller than a size of the face image based on the generated image; and

set the particular image region detected in the detecting as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed.

11. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program which causes a computer to:

acquire a face image;

generate an image depicted by at least one of multiple kinds of parameter making up a color space based on the acquired face image;

detect a particular image region in relation to surrounding pixels in the face image based on the generated image;

determine a size of the detected particular image region; and

set the particular image region detected in the detecting as a region on which a designated processing is to be performed based on the determined size of the particular image region.
