<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method which utilizes the patch of images where a red eye candidate is detected as its input. <P>SOLUTION: The image processing method classifies patches by patches by a classification device trained so as to classify the patches to patches of a standard first class which is relating to the standard compensation of the red eye candidate or patches of one or more kinds of second classes relating to the improvement compensation of the red eye candidate. The improvement compensation is designed for the patches of the second class for reducing the risk of deterioration in the image. For classification, reliability relating to classification can be obtained optionally. When the images are classified to one or more kinds of second classes and the reliability exceeds a threshold, the improvement compensation is applied to the patches. Otherwise, the standard compensation is applied to the patch. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
