AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCING WITH SKIN TONE CORRECTION FOR IMAGE PROCESSING

摘要

A method, system, and article provide automatic white balancing with skin tone correction for image processing. The method comprises determining, by an image processing device, at least one likelihood that a skin chromaticity of at least one skin chromaticity point on an image should be located within at least a first skin chromaticity cluster of a color space or a second skin chromaticity cluster of the color space, depending on the at least one likelihood, forming a target chromaticity cluster from both at least part of the first skin chromaticity cluster and at least part of the second skin chromaticity cluster, and setting a white point for the image at least partially based on the skin chromaticity of the point on the target chromaticity cluster.
