Abstract
An image-processing device having a function that performs detection processing on a first image signal to detect a specific target region of a subject includes an image-signal generating unit that generates a second image signal different from the first image signal based on the first image signal, a target-region detecting unit that performs detection processing on the first and second image signals to detect the specific target region of the subject, and a control unit that selects the results of detecting the target region from either the first or second image signal.
