DCFirst Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for red-eye detection in an acquired digital image comprising:
- using a processor;
acquiring a first image;
analyzing one or more partial face regions within the first image, including determining one or more characteristics of the first image;
identifying one or more corrective processes including red eye correction that can be beneficially applied to said first image according to said one or more characteristics; and
applying said one or more corrective processes to said first image.

Abstract
A method for red-eye detection in an acquired digital image includes acquiring a first image, and analyzing one or more partial face regions within the first image. One or more characteristics of the first image are determined. One or more corrective processes are identified including red eye correction that can be beneficially applied to the first image according to the one or more characteristics. The one or more corrective processes are applied to the first image.
