ABSTRACT:
A red-eye detection device includes a red-eye candidate detection section, a red-eye pair specification section, and an isolated red-eye candidate check section. The red-eye candidate detection section detects a red-eye candidate that can be estimated to be a red-eye, by identifying a feature of the pupil that has a region displayed red from among features of an image. The red-eye pair specification section specifies the red-eye candidate as a pair of a right red-eye candidate equivalent to a right eye and a left red-eye candidate equivalent to a left eye, using information on a face region obtained from the image. The isolated red-eye candidate check section checks whether an isolated red-eye candidate, detected by the red-eye candidate detection section but not specified as the pair by the red-eye pair specification section, is a true red-eye.
