Disclosed herein are systems methods and devices related to region detection of an image. Detected regions include pixels of a particular one or more colors without requiring faces within the image to be previously detected. Region detection may include receiving information that a flash was used to capture the image or that return light was detected in the image.

Region detection

Red-eye detection based on red region detection with eye confirmation initially identifies pixels that correspond to the color of red-eye within an image. A determination is then made as to whether these identified pixels and surrounding areas are part of an eye or not part of an eye. Those identified pixels that are determined to be part of an eye are the detected red-eye regions.
