Abstract
An image processing device is provided, which has an improved face detection method. The image processing device may include a background manager, which determines a foreground region having a target object and a background region which excludes the target object based on image data that includes pixel values of pixels included in the image and depth map data that includes disparity values of the image pixels; and a target object manager determines a reference position of the target object by counting foreground pixels included in the foreground region in a preset direction at a plurality of positions, and detecting the target object corresponding to a preset shape within a region of interest that is set based on the reference position.
