ABSTRACT:
The color of a tooth image region is corrected so as not to form an unnatural face image. To this end, a first image region corresponding to teeth is detected from the image. A second image region corresponding to a face portion other than the teeth is detected from the image. Then, the color of the first image region is corrected based on the feature amounts of the colors of the first and second image regions.
