    摘要: A method of tracking a face in a reference image stream using a digital image acquisition device includes acquiring a full resolution main image and an image stream of relatively low resolution reference images each including one or more face regions. One or more face regions are identified within two or more of the reference images. A relative movement is determined between the two or more reference images. A size and location are determined of the one or more face regions within each of the two or more reference images. Concentrated face detection is applied to at least a portion of the full resolution main image in a predicted location for candidate face regions having a predicted size as a function of the determined relative movement and the size and location of the one or more face regions within the reference images, to provide a set of candidate face regions for the main image.

    摘要: A method for red-eye detection in an acquired digital image comprises acquiring a first image and analyzing the first acquired image to provide characteristics indicative of image quality. The process then determines if one or more corrective processes can be beneficially applied to the first acquired image according to the characteristics. Any such corrective processes are applied and red-eye defects are detected in an established order established according to determination and analysis of characteristics of the corrective process and/or resulting image qualities. Defect correction can comprise applying one or more image correction operations, or a chain of two or more red-eye filters to the first acquired image. In this case, prior to the detecting step, it is determined if the red-eye filter or red eye filter chain should be applied before or after image corrective processes and whether the red eye filter can be adapted in accordance with the characteristics. The red-eye filter and the order in which it is executed in relation to the various image corrective operations may be adapted accordingly.
