Image processing to remove red-eye features without user interaction

摘要

A method of providing feedback to the viewer of a digital image across which a pointer (7) is movable by the viewer comprises identifying red-eye pixels (10) less than a predetermined distance from the pointer having one or more parameters falling within a predetermined range of values, and determining if each of said red-eye pixels (10) form part of a larger correctable red-eye feature (6). It is then indicated to the viewer that the correctable red-eye feature is present, without the need for any further interaction from the viewer.
