Abstract

The invention discloses a method which detects and rectifies the red-eye effect during the photography process; the method adopts the preview (Preview) function that the current digital camera is provided with; when the flash lamp is needed for taking photos, the image which is stored at the moment closest to the time when the shutter is pressed in the preview image sequence is read and stored; the image and various related information (such as the chromaticity information) of the shot image are used to detect the red-eye area; the detected red-eye area is rectified; the rectified image is used as the final image and stored in the memory of the shooting device; thereby, the red-eye is removed rapidly and accurately during the normal and single exposure-shooting process; the image data without the red-eye is obtained.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a digital image processing method, in particular to a method for automatically detecting and removing red eyes when taking pictures. Background technique

[0002] Often the human eye appears red when a photo is taken with a flash in low light conditions, which is known as the "red-eye phenomenon". This is caused by the intense light emitted by the flash reflecting off the blood vessels on the retina inside the eyeball. Moreover, due to the miniaturization of digital cameras, the distance between the flashlight and the lens is getting smaller and smaller, and this problem is becoming more and more serious.

[0003] Now there are many cameras with automatic red-eye reduction function, mainly divided into two kinds of technologies, one uses pre-flash to prevent red-eye, and another uses image processing to eliminate red-eye.
