Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a reference value acquisition unit, an image processing unit, and a threshold specification unit. The reference value acquisition unit acquires a reference value to become a reference of brightness from a facial area of a human contained in a captured image. The image processing unit divides the facial area of the human into multiple exclusive portions. The threshold specification unit specifies a threshold for brightness used for the division into the multiple portions by the image processing unit based on the reference value acquired by the reference value acquisition unit. The image processing unit performs processing of correcting brightness in all the multiple divided portions by applying different correction modes.
