Abstract
The present invention provides a method for image processing, a corresponding apparatus and a computer program product. The method comprises performing face detection of an image, obtaining a coarse face segmentation region of at least one face and a contour edge of the at least one face based on the face detection; and adjusting the coarse face segmentation region based on the contour edge to obtain a fine face segmentation region. By using the method, corresponding apparatus and computer program product of the present invention, the coarse face region in an image can be precisely segmented, which provides a good basis for the subsequent image processing based on the fine face segmentation region.
