40 results about "Red-eye effect" patented technology

The red-eye effect in photography is the common appearance of red pupils in color photographs of the eyes of humans and several other animals. It occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens (as with most compact cameras) in ambient low light.

Optimized performance and performance for red-eye filter method and apparatus

A digital camera has an integral flash and stores and displays a digital image. Under certain conditions, a flash photograph taken with the camera may result in a red-eye phenomenon due to a reflection within an eye of a subject of the photograph. A digital apparatus has a red-eye filter which analyzes the stored image for the red-eye phenomenon and modifies the stored image to eliminate the red-eye phenomenon by changing the red area to black. The modification of the image is enabled when a photograph is taken under conditions indicative of the red-eye phenomenon. The modification is subject to anti-falsing analysis which further examines the area around the red-eye area for indicia of the eye of the subject. The detection and correction can be optimized for performance and quality by operating on subsample versions of the image when appropriate.

Correction of "red-eye" effects in images

After identification of an image or image area where correction is to be effected for red-eye defects, and identification of eye regions within the image or the image area, color data from the area is provided, collected or analyzed according to color channel information. The color channel information may be defined for specific or collections of wavelength values or color content values, usually with at least two channels, up to four or more color channels used to carry all of the information (and with digital images, pixel information) for each color. By using color channel information, local color content information can be readily accessed and evaluated, and after the exact nature or degree of a red-eye effect is determined from evaluation of the color channel information, the data may be readily corrected by a number of different techniques. Templates of colors and / or templates for features (such as glint, pigmentation, or artistic features) may be added to identified regions to be corrected for red-eye

Automatic red eye detection and correction in digital images

A method for the automatic detection and correction of red eye in a digital image is disclosed. The method includes defining a digital image in a hue-saturation-intensity (HSI) color space, and identifying a red eye region in a digital image. Using HSI criteria, identified regions are filtered to discard areas unlikely to be the result of red eye effect, and then a plurality of algorithms are used to apply a color correction to each pixel in the identified red eye region. The color correction manipulates each pixel of the red eye region remove the red eye effect. The method is automatic, and requires no input from a user to define the red eye region, to identify the true color of the red eye region, or to apply the color correction.
