Digital image processing using face detection information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Within a digital camera, method of digital image processing using face detection to achieve a desired luminance contrast, comprising the steps of:
- (a) identifying a group of pixels that correspond to a face within a digital image;
(b) determining first initial values of luminance of pixels of the group of pixels;
(c) determining second initial values of luminance of pixels other than pixels of the group of pixels;
(d) comparing the first and second initial values to determine an initial luminance contrast; and
(e) determining properties of a fill flash for providing adjusted values of luminance for at least some of the pixels of the digital image based on a comparison of the initial luminance contrast and the desired luminance contrast.

Abstract
A method of processing a digital image using face detection within the image achieves one or more desired image processing parameters. A group of pixels is identified that correspond to an image of a face within the digital image. Default values are determined of one or more parameters of at least some portion of the digital image. Values are adjusted of the one or more parameters within the digitally-detected image based upon an analysis of the digital image including the image of the face and the default values.
