Patent ID: 7224850

Claim:
A process at least partially implemented by a computer for automatic red-eye artifact modification in a digital representation of an image comprising: detecting, by a processor, regions corresponding to facial images within the digital representation; and locating, by a processor, red-eye regions within the detected regions, the locating comprising: denoting red pixels as satisfying R>50; R/(R+G+B)>0.40; G/(R+G+B)<0.31 and B/(R+G+B)>0.36; determining when RGB values for a region about a denoted red pixel satisfy conditions: G/(R+G+B)>0.4(Original) 0 or B/(R+G+B)>0.45; when the RGB values for the region satisfy the conditions, removing the region from a pool of red-eye candidate regions; and when the RGB values for the region do not satisfy the conditions, maintaining the regions in the pool.
