Problems solved by technology

[0026] As a result, for example, although the absolute difference is calculated as a relatively large value due to the inconsistency between the illuminance distributions, an area in the first image associated with the absolute difference having a relatively large value may be erroneously detected as skin area

Embodiment Construction

[0059] Modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will now be described in the following order.

[0060] 1. Embodiment (example in which light sources are arranged in an oblique arrangement)

[0061] 2. Modify

[0062]

[0063] [Configuration of Image Processing Device 41 ]

[0064] Figure 4 An exemplary configuration of the image processing device 41 according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0065] The image processing device 41 includes a camera 61 , a light source group 62 , a light source control section 63 , a controller 64 , a camera control section 65 , and an image processing section 66 .

[0066] The camera 61 images a subject (subject to be imaged), and supplies an image obtained by imaging the subject to the camera control section 65 .

[0067] The light source group 62 includes a light source 81 , another light source 82 , and a supporting base 83 . For example, the light source 81 is an LED,...

Abstract

The invention discloses an image processing device, an image processing method, and an electronic apparatus. The image processing device detecting a skin area representing the skin of a person from an image obtained by imaging an object, includes: imaging means for imaging the object; first illumination means for radiating light having a first wavelength from first and second positions determinedbased on the position of the imaging means; second illumination means for radiating light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength from third and fourth positions determined based on the position of the imaging means; and detection means for detecting the skin area on either a first image obtained through imaging of the object performed by illuminating the object with the light having the first wavelength or a second image obtained through imaging of the object performed by illuminating the object with the light having the second wavelength.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and an electronic device. More specifically, the present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an electronic device that can suppress inconsistency between illuminance distributions of light sources having different wavelengths through a simple configuration. Background technique [0002] In the related art, there is a detection device that detects some characteristics of an object (for example, a person) from an image obtained by imaging the object. [0003] For example, such detection devices are used in digital cameras. Therefore, such a digital camera detects a person's face from a through image used for composition, and enables shutter operation when the detected face is a smiling face, for example. [0004] Also, some digital cameras detect a person's face from, for example, an image obtained by imaging the pers...
