ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus automatically detect red-eye regions in a photographic image. The method according to one embodiment accesses digital image data representing a color photographic image; detects red-eye candidate regions in the photographic image by processing the digital image data, the step of detecting red-eye candidate regions including calculating feature values for multiple positions of the photographic image, and identifying red-eye candidate regions based on the calculated feature values resulting from the calculating step; and performs face detection to determine whether an identified red-eye candidate region is associated with a face.
