Eye beautification under inaccurate localization

摘要

Sub-regions within one or more face images are identified within a digital image, and enhanced by applying an artificial glint symmetrically and/or synchronously to image data corresponding to sub-regions of eyes within the face image. An enhanced face image is generated including an enhanced version of the face that includes certain original pixels in combination with pixels corresponding to the one or more eye regions of the face with the artificial glint.

主权项

1. A method of enhancing an appearance of a face within a digital image, comprising using a processor in:
acquiring the digital image including the face, wherein the step of acquiring comprises:
capturing the digital image using a lens and an image sensor of a processing device that includes the processor, or receiving said digital image following capture by another device that includes a certain lens and a certain image sensor, or a combination thereof; identifying one or two groups of pixels that each include a pupil region of an eye region within the face in the digital image; identifying a border between said pupil region and an iris of said eye region using luminance information; adjusting the digital image by adding one or more glint pixels at a pupil side of the border between said iris and said pupil to generate an enhanced image; and displaying, transmitting, communicating or digitally storing or otherwise outputting the enhanced image or a further processed version, or combinations thereof.
