First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for correcting a gaze direction of a user in an image, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a face of the user in the image;
detecting contour points of an eye area in the detected face;
changing the contour points of the detected eye area in the image to contour points that correspond to a gaze direction toward a reference camera; and
correcting the gaze direction of the user in the image by transforming the eye area according to the changed contour points.

Abstract
A method and portable terminal are provided for correcting a gaze direction of a user in an image. A face of the user is detected in the image. Contour points of an eye area are detected in the detected face. The contour points of the detected eye area in the image are changed to contour points that correspond to a gaze direction toward a reference camera. The gaze direction of the user in the image is corrected by transforming the eye area according to the changed contour points.
