An image compensating apparatus includes an input unit to receive input of an photo image, a Gaussian filtering unit to perform Gaussian filtering on the photo image, a division-map generating unit to convert the photo image on which the Gaussian filtering is performed into a color space including a plurality of color components and then generating a chromaticity division-map based on a color coordinate value in the color space, a calculating unit to calculate average chromaticity of each respective region by using the chromaticity division-map, and a compensating unit to compensate chromaticity of each respective region of the photo image by using the average chromaticity of each respective region. Accordingly, a faded image input to the input unit may effectively be compensated.

Image compensation device, image processing apparatus and methods thereof

A color conversion method includes determining a race by recognizing a skin region in an input image, selecting a preferred skin color to apply to the skin region based on a plurality of preferred skin color information preset per race, and correcting a color of the skin region using the selected preferred skin color. Additionally, a color conversation apparatus includes a control unit to determine a race by recognizing a skin region in an input image input, and to select a preferred skin color to apply to the skin region, based on the plurality of the preferred skin color information stored in a storage unit, and a compensation unit to correct a color of the skin region using the preferred skin color selected by the control unit. Hence, the skin color per race can be adequately converted to the color which can satisfy the user.
