Abstract
A media editing device obtains a digital image, and a facial region of an individual in the digital image is identified by a facial region analyzer. A plurality of facial features of the facial region is identified by a facial feature identifier. A skin color of the facial region is determined, and eyebrow regions in the facial region are identified based on the facial features. Each of the eyebrow regions is partitioned into a plurality of segments, and a determination is made, for one or more of the segments, whether an area above or an area below the segment has a color matching the skin color. The segment is designated as a verified eyebrow region or as an overlapped region depending on whether the area above or the area below the segment has a color matching the skin color. A special effect is applied on the verified eyebrow region.
