Abstract
A correction signal capturing section of a skin color correction processing section of an image processor captures WB-corrected RGBsignal values, a WB inverse correction section performs inverse correction, a YCbCr conversion section converts obtained RGBsignal values into YCbCrsignal values. A skin color pixel region detection section detects pixels corresponding to skin color pixel regions, a skin color correction section performs skin color correction to the YCbCrsignal values and obtains YCbCrsignal values, and a RGB conversion section converts the obtained YCbCrsignal values into RGBsignal values. A WB correction section performs WB correction to the RGBsignal values and obtains RGBsignal values. An output section outputs the image signals of the image reconstructed by applying said RGBsignal values to the skin color pixel regions and by applying said RGBsignal values to the pixel regions other than the skin color pixel regions.
