1. A method of detecting a red-eye defect within a digital image(a) acquiring an image including one or more faces including a red eye defect;

  • (b) performing in a first stage an initial segmentation of candidate redeye regions to determine a first set of one or more confirmed redeye regions designated for correction;

    (c) correcting the first set of red eye regions for generating a first red eye corrected image;

    (d) recording a subset of rejected candidate red eye regions that were rejected for correction in the first stage without full analysis;

    (e) re-analyzing the subset of rejected candidate red eye regions in a later second stage to determine a second set of confirmed redeye regions;

    (f) correcting the second set of confirmed red eye regions and generating a second red eye corrected image which has the first and second sets of confirmed red eye regions corrected therein; and

    (g) electronically storing, transmitting, further processing or editing, or displaying the second red eye corrected image, or combinations thereof.
