Abstract
A face image processing method is applied to an electronic device, such that the electronic device can perform a face detection to a digital image to obtain a face image in the digital image automatically, and perform a skin color detection to the face image to exclude non-skin features such as eyes, eyeglasses, eyebrows, a moustache, a mouth and nostrils on the face image, and form a skin mask in an area range of the face image belonging to skin color, and finally perform a filtering process to the area range of the face image corresponding to the skin mask to filter high-frequency, mid-frequency and low-frequency noises of an abnormal skin color in the area range of the face image, so as to quickly remove blemishes and dark spots existed in the area range of the face image.
