Abstract

When a human skin region is detected, misdetection or detection failure is prevented. An image processing apparatus of the present invention acquires an image from which a human body skin region is to be extracted, and estimates a human body part region in the image. The image processing apparatus then estimates a skin attribute of the estimated human body part region and corrects the human body part region based on the estimated skin attribute. The image processing apparatus extracts the skin region from the acquired image based on the skin attribute of the estimated human body part region and the corrected human body part region.
