We require a photographic red-eye artifact removal filter that can be executed externally or internally from our code. The filter should accept a rectangular zone parameter to apply the filter to and an image (in a standard format, i.e JPEG or PNG, etc.), it should then output an image with the redeye artifact removed. Output must be high quality and realistic and should be relatively quick (0 - 5 seconds per image).
It can be written in PHP (commandline) and GD, or using other third party command line utility that is under a license that allows it to be distributed freely. Your own C or comparable code is also fine. It must be able to run on Microsoft Windows and it would be a bonus if it was portable and could also run on Linux. The basic goal is to be able to remove red eye artifacts behind the scene, as instructed by our software.
Thanks!
