Abstract

An image processing method acquires an image, restores a saturated region in which a pixel in the image has a first reference value based on a first illuminance component of the image, enhances a dark region in which a value of a pixel in the image is less than a second reference value based on the restored saturated region and the first illuminance component, and outputs a dark region-enhanced image.
