Apparatus and method for processing digital images having eye color defects
First Claim
1. An imaging device for correcting eye color defects of a subject in a digital image, comprising:
- (a) accessing means for accessing the digital image;
(b) processing means for detecting one or more candidate positions of eye color defects in the digital image;
(c) automatic correction means for applying an eye color defect algorithm to the digital image at the detected candidate positions to automatically correct for the eye color defect;
(d) a display for presenting at least a portion of the digital image comprising at least one of the one or more corrected eye color defects; and
(e) at least one indicator, presented on the display, indicating the at least one of the one or more corrected eye color defects.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing digital images having eye color defects. In one method for detecting and correcting eye color defects of a subject in a digital image, the steps comprise: (a) processing the digital image to automatically detect one or more candidate positions of eye color defects in the digital image; (b) automatically applying an eye color defect algorithm to the digital image at the detected candidate positions to automatically correct for the eye color defect; (c) displaying, on a display, at least a portion of the digital image comprising at least one of the corrected eye color defects; and (d) displaying, on the display, an indicator located proximate the at least one of the corrected eye color defects indicative of the at least one of the corrected eye color defects.
