Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of modifying the viewing parameters of digital images using face detection for achieving a desired spatial parameters based on one or more sub-groups of pixels that correspond to one or more facial features of the face. Such methods may be used for animating still images, automating and streamlining application such as the creation of slide shows and screen savers of images containing faces.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of generating on a processor-based digital image acquisition device one or more new digital still images using an original digitally-acquired still image including a face, comprising: using a processor of the device in performing the following: acquiring the original digitally-acquired still image on the processor-based digital image acquisition device that includes a lens and image sensor for capturing digital images; analyzing a luminance map…
