Perfecting of digital image rendering parameters within rendering devices using face detection
First Claim
1. Within a digital rendering device, a method of perfecting rendering parameters of a digital image as part of an image rendering process using face detection within said rendered image to achieve one or more desired image rendering parameters, comprising:
- (a) determining default values of one or more image attributes of at least some portion of said digital image;
(b) determining the values of one or more digital-rendering-device rendering parameters;
(c) identifying a plurality of groups of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within the digitally-rendered image, and determining corresponding image attributes to said groups of pixels;
(d) comparing one or more default image attribute values with one or more rendered image attribute value based upon analysis of said image of said face; and
(e) adjusting said digital-rendering-device rendering parameters corresponding to adjusting said image attribute values.

Abstract
Within a digital rendering device, such as printers, hard copy and soft copy display, and copiers, rendering parameters of a digital image are perfected as part of an image rendering process using face detection within said rendered image to achieve one or more desired image rendering parameters. Default values are determined of one or more image attributes of at least some portion of the digital image. Values of one or more digital-rendering-device rendering parameters are determined. Groups of pixels are identified that correspond to an image of a face within the digitally-rendered image. Corresponding image attributes to the groups of pixels are determined. One or more default image attribute values are compared with one or more rendered image attribute values based upon analysis of the image of the face. One or more digital-rendering-device rendering parameters are then adjusted corresponding to adjusting the image attribute values.

15. A method of digital image processing using face detection to achieve a desired image rendering parameter, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within a digitally-detected image;
(b) determining initial values of one or more parameters of at least some of the pixels; and
