Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for normalizing skin tone brightness are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving a color image that includes a representation of a face. The actions further include selecting a group of pixels in the color image that includes the representation of the face. The actions further include determining a brightness value that represents a brightness of the group of pixels in the color image that includes the representation of the face. The actions further include determining a brightness difference value. The actions further include comparing the brightness difference value to an upper threshold brightness difference value and a lower threshold brightness difference value. The actions further include determining whether to adjust a brightness of the color image that includes the representation of the face.
