Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for improving face detection in an image. A user may select a first eye location while viewing the image (e.g., per red-eye reduction) and a first indication of user input, comprising the location selected by the user, can be received. The first eye location in the image can then be used to determine a face location in the image (and a second user indicated eye location can be used as well). The location of the face can be identified in the image, and the image with the identified face location can be provided to a face detection and/or recognition operation, for example.
