The Optimal Axial Interval in Estimating Depth from Defocus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the effect of perturbations on the estimation of Depth from Defocus (DFD) implemented by changing the focus setting (e.g., axially moving the sensor). The analysis yields the optimal change of focus setting, and the spatial frequencies for which estimation is most robust. For stable estimation at all spatial frequencies, the change in focus setting should be less than twice the depth of field. For the most robust estimation in the highest spatial frequencies the axial interval should be equal to the depth of field.

Novel diffusion based techniques for depth estimation and image restoration from defocused images
An intrinsic property of real aperture based imaging is the blurring of an observation due to defocus. There are two major aspects related to the defocus blur present in the image. The first aspect is based on use of the defocus blur for estimating the depth in the scene. The other aspect relates to restoration of the image. This problem manifests itself as a challenging blind, space varying de...
متن کاملEvolving Measurement Regions for Depth from Defocus
Depth from defocus (DFD) is a 3D recovery method based on estimating the amount of defocus induced by finite lens apertures. Given two images with different camera settings, the problem is to measure the resulting differences in defocus across the image, and to estimate a depth based on these blur differences. Most methods assume that the scene depth map is locally smooth, and this leads to ina...
متن کاملA New Approach for Estimating Depth by Fusing Stereo and Defocus Information
Several algorithms are common for estimating depth from stereo series, but many of them have difficulties when determining depth of objects having periodical structure. This contribution proposes a method to overcome the impediments by using defocus as additional information. The algorithm fuses depth from stereo and depth from defocused edges by analyzing and evaluating image series with simul...
متن کاملHuman optical axial length and defocus.
PURPOSE To investigate the short-term influence of imposed monocular defocus on human optical axial length (the distance from anterior cornea to retinal pigment epithelium) and ocular biometrics. METHODS Twenty-eight young adult subjects (14 myopes, 14 emmetropes) had eye biometrics measured before and 30 and 60 minutes after exposure to monocular (right eye) defocus. Four different monocular...
متن کاملDepth from diffracted rotation.
The accuracy of depth estimation based on defocus effects has been essentially limited by the depth of field of the imaging system. We show that depth estimation can be improved significantly relative to classical methods by exploiting three-dimensional diffraction effects. We formulate the problem by using information theory analysis and present, to the best of our knowledge, a new paradigm fo...
