Abstract(in English) We propose a facial color beautification method for video communication. The video-captured face often disappoints us, especially the subjects themselves, because the lighting environment is often poor. Inadequate lighting makes the face look depressed or tired. The best solution is illuminating the face directly with good light, but it is not always possible to realize a good environment in everyday situations. Our solution is to retouch the captured video. Our method identifies the distribution of skin color and the eye luminance of a detected face, and converts the color distribution of the entire image by histogram transformation. This method provides three strong points, which are 1) converting video in real-time, 2) beautifying the facial color even if it is captured with inadequate light, and 3) creating a variety of face "styles" by controlling the transformation parameters.
