Abstract
An automatic method for processing digital image data from photographic images, particularly of photographs containing people and portraits, includes a face-specific image processing that distinguishes itself from that used to process other images. Face-specific image processing is automatically selected when faces are identified within the image data by means of an object recognition procedure.
Claims25
Method for processing digital image data of photographic images, whereby image data from the photograph of a person are processed by means of face-specific image processing that distinguishes itself from processing used to process other image data, the improvement comprising the steps of implementing an automatic object-recognition algorithm to identify the presence of human faces in the image data and automatically selecting face-specific image processing when faces are identified within the image data.
