Digital image processing using face detection information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of digital image processing using face detection to achieve a desired image parameter, comprising the steps of:
- (a) identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within a digitally-detected image;
(b) determining initial values of one or more parameters of at least some of the pixels; and
(c) determining an initial parameter of the digitally-detected image based on the initial values; and
(d) automatically adjusting or providing an option to adjust values of the one or more parameters of at least pixels within the digitally-detected image that are outside the face, based upon comparison of the initial parameter with the desired parameter.

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.

15. A digital camera, comprising:
-
a lens and an image sensor for capturing digital images; one or more processors; and one or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied thereon, said processor readable code for programming the one or more processors to perform a method of digital image processing using face detection to achieve a desired image parameter for said digital images, the method comprising; (a) identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within a digitally-detected image; (b) determining initial values of one or more parameters of at least some of the pixels; and (c) determining an initial parameter of the digitally-detected image based on the initial values; and (d) automatically adjusting or providing an option to adjust values of the one or more parameters of at least pixels within the digitally-detected image that are outside the face, based upon comparison of the initial parameter with the desired parameter. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23)
