1. A method for correcting white eye in image data, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a white eye candidate pixel from an eye extracted from the image data based on a predetermined detection condition;
determining said white eye candidate pixel as a white eye pixel based on a predetermined determination condition; and
effecting white eye correction of the determined white eye pixel by changing its luminance.

Abstract
A technique for correcting white eye in image data is disclosed. In this technique, a white eye candidate pixel is detected from an eye extracted from the image data based on a predetermined detection condition. The white eye candidate pixel as a white eye pixel based on a predetermined determination condition. Then, white eye correction is effected on the determined white eye pixel by changing its luminance.
