Patent ID: 7675652

Claim:
Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for removing undesired eye color from a digital image, the method comprising: identifying a measure of one or more orthogonal color vectors based on one or more undesired eye colors present in the digital image; performing a channel mixing process on the one or more undesired eye colors of an original form of the digital image using information from the measure of the one or more orthogonal color vectors to generate a channel mixed form of the digital image, wherein the channel mixed form only includes information from one or more color channels that are orthogonal to the one or more undesired eye colors; extracting luminance data from only the one or more color channels orthogonal to the one or more undesired eye colors present in the digital image; converting a channel mixed layer to a corresponding luminosity layer using the luminance data; selectively blending the channel mixed form with the original form of the digital image to generate a corrected digital image that does not include the one or more undesired eye colors; and selectively applying the luminosity layer to the corrected digital image to form a specular reflection.
