Method for the automatic detection of red-eye defects in photographic image data
First Claim
1. A method for the automatic detection of red-eye defects in photographic image data, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) analyzing image and/or recording data independently of one another for several specified indications and/or prerequisites;
(b) determining a value representative of the presence of each of the individual indications and/or prerequisites;
(c) combining the determined values to produce an overall evaluation;
(d) rendering a decision about the presence of potential red-eye defects based upon the overall evaluation;
(e) locating the potential red-eye defects; and
(f) rendering a decision based upon analysis criteria, whether there are, in fact, red-eye defects.

Abstract
In a method for the automatic detection of red-eye defects in photographic image data, image and/or recording data are analyzed independently of one another for several specified indications and/or prerequisites. Thereafter, a value is determined for the presence of the individual indications and/or prerequisites. Thereafter, the determined values are combined for an overall evaluation, and a decision about the presence of potential red-eye defects is made, based upon the overall evaluation. The potential red-eye defects are located, and a decision is made, based upon analysis criteria, as to whether there are, indeed, red-eye defects.
