Dual-focus stereo imaging

چکیده
We present a novel stereo imaging technique called dualfocus stereo imaging or DFSI. DFSI uses a pair of images captured from different viewpoints and at different foci, but with identical wide aperture size. Each image in an DFSI pair exhibits different defocus blur, and the two images form a defocused stereo pair. To model defocus blur, we introduce a defocus kernel map (DKM) that computes the size of the blur disk at each pixel. We derive a novel disparity defocus constraint for computing the DKM in DFSI, and integrate DKM estimation with disparity map estimation to simultaneously recover both maps. We show that the recovered DKMs provide useful guidance for segmenting the in-focus regions. We demonstrate using DFSI in a variety of imaging applications, including low-light imaging, automatic defocus matting, and multifocus photomontage. © 2010 SPIE and IS&T. [DOI: 10.1117/1.3500802]

Simultaneous dual-energy X-ray stereo imaging
Dual-energy or K-edge imaging is used to enhance contrast between two or more materials in an object and is routinely realised by acquiring two separate X-ray images each at different X-ray wavelength. On a broadband synchrotron source an imaging system to acquire the two images simultaneously was realised. The single-shot approach allows dual-energy and stereo imaging to be applied to dynamic ...
متن کاملLight Field Assisted Stereo Matching using Depth from Focus and Image-Guided Cost-Volume Filtering
Light field photography advances upon current digital imaging technology by making it possible to adjust focus after capturing a photograph. This capability is enabled by an array of microlenses mounted above the image sensor, allowing the camera to simultaneously capture both light intensity and approximate angle of incidence. The ability to adjust focus after capture makes light field photogr...
متن کاملDual-band stereo vision based on heterogeneous sensor networks
This paper presents an approach of dual-band imagery based on heterogeneous sensor network which consists of infrared and optical sensors, and our approach of imaging reconstructs the three-dimensional shapes of the objects in some special environments such as smog, darkness, glare and so forth. Two dichroic mirrors are used for the construction of the binocular stereo vision system which consi...
متن کاملIterative Refinement of Transmission Map for Stereo Image Defogging Using a Dual Camera Sensor
Recently, the stereo imaging-based image enhancement approach has attracted increasing attention in the field of video analysis. This paper presents a dual camera-based stereo image defogging algorithm. Optical flow is first estimated from the stereo foggy image pair, and the initial disparity map is generated from the estimated optical flow. Next, an initial transmission map is generated using...
متن کاملDifferential impact of multi-focus fan beam collimation with L-mode and conventional systems on the accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging: Quantitative evaluation using phantoms
Objective(s): A novel IQ-SPECTTM method has become widely used in clinical studies. The present study compares the quality of myocardial perfusion images (MPI) acquired using the IQ-SPECTTM (IQ-mode),conventional (180° apart: C-mode) and L-mode (90° apart: L-mode) systems. We assessed spatial resolution, image reproducibility and quantifiability using various physical phantoms. Materials and Me...
