AUTOMATICALLY CORRECTING EYE REGION ARTIFACTS IN DIGITAL IMAGES PORTRAYING FACES

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for automatically, accurately, and efficiently correcting eye region artifacts including dark eye regions and wrinkles within a digital image portraying a human face. In particular, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems localize areas within a digital image to identify eye region artifacts including dark eye regions and wrinkles. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a corrected color image by correcting dark eye regions in a low frequency layer of the digital image by replacing the dark eye regions with candidate eye regions. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems generate a corrected texture image by correcting wrinkles in a high frequency layer by processing the digital image utilizing a smoothing algorithm. The disclosed systems further generate a corrected digital image by combining the corrected color image and the corrected texture image.
