A method and system for detecting facial expressions in digital images and applications therefore are disclosed. Analysis of a digital image determines whether or not a smile and/or blink is present on a person's face. Face recognition, and/or a pose or illumination condition determination, permits application of a specific, relatively small classifier cascade.

Detecting facial expressions in digital images

A digital image processing technique is for detecting and correcting visual imperfections using a reference image. A main image and one or more reference images having a temporal and/or spatial overlap and/or proximity with the original image are captured. Device information, image data and/or meta data are analyzed of the one or more reference images relating to a defect in the main image. The device corrects the defect based on the information, image data and/or meta-data to create an enhanced version of the main image.

Digital image enhancement with reference images

Flash image orb artifacts arising from specular reflections from airborne particles are corrected. A specific location is detected within a digital image of a flash image airborne particle artifact (orb). A defined curved plane shape is electronically identified within the image. Luminances are analyzed of pixels within the identified shape to assess whether the shape in fact corresponds to an orb. The digital image is corrected by removing the orb. One or more pixel values are adjusted inside the orb, and one or more edge pixel values of the orb are also adjusted.
