Abstract
A method of correcting an eye circle on an image with at least one eye visible and the eye circle being located beneath the eye includes defining a core area of the image for correction, the core area being located substantially below a position of the eye in the image. The method also defines a processing area being larger in area than the core area and including the core area, and defines a surrounding area as a remaining area of the processing area not being located within the core area. An average brightness of the core area is compared to an average brightness of the surrounding area. Then a smoothing process is performed to blend the core area with the surrounding area to correct the eye circle when the average brightness of the core area is greater than that of the surrounding area by more than a first threshold.
