Method and apparatus of correcting hybrid flash artifacts in digital images

[Subject] a digital image arch -- a fact -- art for amendment is provided. [Means for Solution] A digital image (10) is acquired and a candidate bloodshot-eyes defective field (22) in (30) and the picture is identified (32), A high-intensity pixel (24) field which has at least one marginal luminosity value in the circumference of the candidate bloodshot-eyes field is identified, and it is (40), The feature relevant to an eye of a combined hybrid field including the candidate bloodshot-eyes field and the high-intensity pixel field is analyzed (46, 48, 50), a hybrid field combined [the] is based on analysis of the feature relevant to the eye -- a flash arch -- a fact -- identifying that it is a field -- the flash arch -- a fact -- a field -- a flash arch -- a fact -- amendment (52) is applied.
