PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method which overcomes a stationary restriction having an adverse effect upon conventional techniques. SOLUTION: Firstly, the color information of an image relating to an examinee is extracted by an image extracting apparatus. A visually associated region is then detected. The gray scale of the extracted image is then normalized on the basis of the visually associated region to correct the exposure of the extracted image. A region corresponding to the skin of the photographed examinee is also identified, and the region is used as a visually concerned region in a step of exposure correction.
