ABSTRACT:
A method for processing a detected eye of an image to provide visual enhancement. The method includes determining whether an eye exists within an image. The eye includes an eye color. If the eye exists within the image, the method also includes determining the location of the eye within the image. Furthermore, the method includes processing the eye to provide visual enhancement to the eye without substantially changing the hue of the eye color of the eye.
