Abstract
Abstract The red eye detecting and correcting method detects red eye that occurred in an image during photographing and correcting the thus detected red eye to a specified color of pupil. Parameters employed in red eye detection and correction are altered in accordance with at least one of conditions as follows: type of the image, a camera model with which the image was recorded, a processing space for image data on the image, image processing steps to which the image is to be subjected before red eye detection and correction, format of the image, and scan condition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
1 . A red eye detecting and correcting method, comprising: detecting red eye that occurred in an image during photographing; and correcting the thus detected red eye to a specified color of pupil, wherein parameters employed in red eye detection and correction are altered in accordance with at least one of conditions as follows: type of said image, a camera model with which said image was recorded, a processing space for image data on said image, image processing steps to which said image is to be subjected before red eye detection and correction, format of said image, and scan condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
1 . A red eye detecting and correcting method, comprising: detecting red eye that occurred in an image during photographing; and correcting the thus detected red eye to a specified color of pupil, wherein parameters employed in red eye detection and correction are altered in accordance with at least one of conditions as follows: type of said image, a camera model with which said image was recorded, a processing space for image data on said image, image processing steps to which said image is to be subjected before red eye detection and correction, format of said image, and scan condition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
2 . The red eye detecting and correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein said parameters are altered in accordance with a combination of two or more of said conditions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
3 . The red eye detecting and correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein: reference parameters are provided as said parameters; and said parameters to be altered are obtained from said reference parameters by transformation based on one of said conditions or a combination of two or more of said conditions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
4 . The red eye detecting and correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein: parameters corresponding to all said conditions and all combinations of said conditions are previously provided as said parameters; and parameters corresponding to one of said conditions or a combination of two or more of said conditions are selected as said parameters to be altered.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
163 words
5 . The red eye detecting and correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein: when a part of said conditions or a part of combinations of said conditions are adopted more frequently than another part of said conditions or another part of the combinations of said conditions, parameters corresponding to all said part of said conditions and all said part of the combinations of said conditions are provided as said parameters, and parameters corresponding to one among said part of said conditions or one among said part of the combinations of said conditions are selected as said parameters to be altered; and reference parameters for said another part of said conditions or said another part of the combinations of said conditions are provided as said parameters, and said parameters to be altered are obtained from said reference parameters by transformation based on one among said another part of said conditions or one among said another part of the combinations of said conditions.
