An image processing apparatus comprising: a local skin color level calculating section for calculating, as a local skin color level, a skin color level at a predetermined local region in an image; a local brightness high frequency calculating section that, when a first brightness amplitude change occurs in a first direction in the predetermined local region, and a second brightness amplitude change, which is smaller than the first brightness amplitude change, occurs in a second direction, which is generally orthogonal to the first direction, calculates a directional high-frequency component, which is an index indicating a magnitude of the first brightness amplitude change to the amount of second brightness amplitude change; and a skin region detecting section for detecting whether the predetermined local region is a skin region or not by using the local skin color level and the directional high-frequency component. |
