Masahide Kaneko and colleagues at the University of Electro-Communications, in Japan, have developed an image-analysis system for cameras which can eliminate blinking.

The system snaps 15 frames in 0.5 seconds after the shutter button is clicked. A computer rapidly analyses these image, discarding those in which the subject is blinking.

The system can even detect closed eyes within photos of up to 30 people and can automatically pick out an image featuring the least blinkers. They believe a commercial version could be ready within two years.
