Image processing method using sensed eye position
View Patent ↗A method for processing a captured image is provided. The method includes the steps of sensing the position of an eye and processing the captured image using the sensed eye position. In one embodiment, the step of processing involves detecting a face within the image, and applying a graphical object at a location within the image and relative to the detected face. The graphical object may be a speech bubble.
1. A method for processing an image previously captured by a camera and stored in a memory of the camera, the method comprising the steps of:
sensing the position of an eye in the captured image;
generating eye position information; and
processing said captured image using the eye position information, wherein the step of processing involves detecting a face within the capture image, and applying a morph to the detected face to modify the captured image.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of processing involves the step of detecting a face within the image.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of processing involves any one of modifying or transforming the captured image using the sensed eye position.
4. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of processing involves applying focussing effects to a region of the captured image.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of processing involves applying artistic rendering of the captured image.
6. A processed image which has been processed in accordance with the method of claim 1 .
