RED EYE DETECTION AIDED BY FACE DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method for identifying a pair of genuine red eye artifacts in a captured image, comprising the steps of:
- determining the presence of a face in the captured image;
substantially encompassing the face within a shape;
determining the presence of three or more candidate red eye artifacts within the shape;
measuring the distance from an edge of the shape to each of the three or more candidate red eye artifacts; and
identifying, as genuine red eye artifacts, two candidate red eye artifacts of the three or more candidate red eye artifacts that are within a predetermined vertical distance from the edge of the shape.

Abstract
A method for identifying a pair of genuine red eye artifacts in a captured image includes the steps of determining the presence of a face in the captured image, substantially encompassing the face within a shape, and determining the presence of three or more candidate red eye artifacts within the shape. The method continues with measuring the distance from an edge of the shape to each of the three or more candidate red eye artifacts and identifying, as genuine red eye artifacts, two candidate red eye artifacts of the three or more candidate red eye artifacts that are within a predetermined vertical distance from the edge of the shape.

8. A logic module for identifying a pair of red eye artifacts in a captured image, comprising:
-
logic for determining that at least one face is present in the captured image; logic for encompassing each one of the at least one face in a two-dimensional shape; logic for determining that three or more candidate red eye artifacts are present in at least one of the two-dimensional shapes; logic for determining that two red eye artifacts are among the three or more candidate red eye artifacts present in at least one of the two-dimensional shapes based on relative positions of the two genuine red eye artifacts within the two-dimensional shape. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
