Depth-aware blending of smoothed images for Bokeh effect generation

Bokeh effect is used in photography to capture images where the closer objects look sharp and every-thing else stays out-of-focus. photos are generally captured using Single Lens Reflex cameras shallow depth-of-field. Most of modern smartphones can take bokeh by leveraging dual rear or a good auto-focus hardware. However, for with single-rear camera without hardware, we have rely on software generate images. This kind system also useful already In this paper, an end-to-end deep learning framework proposed high-quality from The original image different versions smoothed blended help monocular depth estimation network. approach compared against saliency detection based baseline number approaches AIM 2019 Challenge Effect Synthesis.
