24. A method for assessing the photo quality of a captured image in a digital camera, said method comprising the steps of:
-
computing, in-camera, a photo sharpness figure of merit for the captured image;
comparing, in-camera, said computed photo sharpness figure of merit to a threshold to determine if said photo sharpness figure of merit exceeds said threshold;
providing a corresponding photo sharpness feedback to a camera user;
computing, in-camera, a face quality figure of merit for the captured image;
comparing, in-camera, said computed face quality figure of merit to a threshold to determine if said face quality figure of merit exceeds said threshold;
providing a corresponding face quality feedback to said camera user;
computing, in-camera, a flare figure of merit for the captured image;
comparing, in-camera, said computed flare figure of merit to a threshold to determine if said flare figure of merit exceeds said threshold; and
providing a corresponding flare feedback to said camera user.

25. A system for assessing the photo quality of a captured image in a digital camera, said system comprising:
-
an image capture unit;
an image processor operatively coupled to said image capture unit for processing the captured image;
a photo quality check unit operatively coupled to said image processor for checking, in-camera, the photo quality of the processed image; and
a display operatively coupled to said photo quality check unit for providing a corresponding photo quality feedback to a camera user. - View Dependent Claims (26)
