ABSTRACT:
The age class of a human subject is ascertained in a digital image. The subject has a redeye defect pair; each defect having one or more defect pixels. In the method, two regions of pixels corresponding to the defects are identified. The distance between the regions is measured. A region size is determined, based upon the size of at least one of the regions. An age class is determined from the distance and region size.
