<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately identify the skin area included in an image and improve its appearance. <P>SOLUTION: A CPU 411 divides the image data GD into a plurality of image data areas (pixel data group), analyzes each image data area, and calculates the color value and its variance of each image data area. If the obtained color value is in the color gamut of skin with the variance less than a predetermined variance, the CPU 411 discriminates the objective image data area to be the skin area, and carries out smoothing the image data area identified as the skin area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
