Detecting red eye filter and apparatus using meta-data

摘要

A method of filtering a red-eye phenomenon from a digitized image comprising a multiplicity of pixels indicative of color, the pixels forming various shapes within the image, includes analyzing meta-data information including digitized-meta-data information describing one or more conditions under which the image was digitized or film information or a combination thereof, and determining, based at least in part on said meta-data analysis, whether one or more regions within the digital image are suspected as including red eye artifact.
