Abstract:
1. A method of processing an input image, comprising operating a computer to perform operations comprising: detecting peteye pixel areas of a first type in the input image based on a first classification map segmenting pixels in the input image into peteye pixels of the first type and non-peteye pixels of the first type based on a first segmentation condition on values of the pixels in the input image; detecting peteye pixel areas of a second type in the input image based on a second classification map segmenting pixels in the input image into peteye pixels of the second type and non-peteye pixels of the second type based on a second segmentation condition on values of the pixels in the input image, wherein the first and second segmentation conditions are different; correcting the detected peteye pixel areas of the first type in accordance with a first color correction process; and correcting the detected peteye pixel areas of the second type in accordance with a second color correction process that is different from the first color correction process.
