ABSTRACT:
An image capturing device includes an image sensing unit for sensing an image of a human face, an image processing unit, and a memory device. The image processing unit includes a face detection module, a brightness obtaining module, a comparing module, and an adjustment module. The face detection module is configured for detecting human faces in images sensed by the image sensing unit. The brightness obtaining module is configured for obtaining the brightness of a set of areas in the image corresponding to a set of preset portions of each human face. The comparing module is configured for comparing brightness of each of the areas to a threshold value. The adjustment module is configured for adjusting the image by decreasing the brightness of the areas whose brightness is greater than the threshold value. The memory device is able to store the images adjusted by the image processing unit.
