Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for detecting and/or identifying a set of faces in a video frame and performing a set of image processing operations based on locations of the set of faces. In particular, the method identifies a set of respective locations of the set of faces in the video frame and applies one or more image processing operations based on the locations of the set of faces found in the video frame. The image processing operations include color correction operations, non-color correction operations, and image processing operations that modify areas inside or outside of the detected and/or identified faces. Additionally, some embodiments provide a graphical user interface for automatically applying image processing operations to an area of a video frame isolated by an ellipse-shaped mask. Furthermore, some embodiments provide a system for automatically applying image processing operations to an area of a video frame isolated by an ellipse-shaped mask.
