detecting and tracking a face, partial face or eye within a scene in a preacquisition stage, in a video stream or within a collection of preview images, or combinations thereof;
performing a shape analysis of the eye;
rejecting the scene as a candidate for digital image capture due to the blinking; and
automatically acquiring a digital image after delaying for a period of time, wherein the delaying of said acquiring the digital image corresponds to an estimated time for said blinking process to end based on said shape analysis of said eye.
10. One or more non-transitory processor-readable media having code embedded therein for programming a processor to perform a method of selectively disqualifying a scene as a candidate for permanent capture, storage or processing, or combinations thereof, the method comprising:
19. A digital image acquisition device, comprising:
