ABSTRACT:
An eye region is extracted from an input image. A poor pupil hue quality region is extracted from the eye region. A high brightness region is extracted from the poor pupil hue quality region. A region obtained by excluding the high brightness region from the poor pupil hue quality region is extracted as a red-eye region. The high brightness region is corrected by using a method different from that for the red-eye region.
