Depth From Defocus in Presence of Partial Self Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contrary to the normal belief we show that selfocclusion is present in any real aperture image and we present a method on how we can take care of the occlusion while recovering the depth using the defocus as the cue. The spacevariant blur is modeled as an MRF and the MAP estimates are obtained f o r both the depth map and the everywhere f o cused intensity image. The blur kernel is adjusted in the regions where occlusion is present, particularly at the regions of discontinuities in the scene. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested over synthetic data and the estimates are found to be better than the earlier schemes where such subtle effects were ignored.

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 کاملShape Recovery Using Stochastic Heat Flow
We consider the problem of depth estimation from multiple images based on the defocus cue. For a Gaussian defocus blur, the observations can be shown to be the solution of a deterministic but inhomogeneous diffusion process. However, the diffusion process does not sufficiently address the case in which the Gaussian kernel is deformed. This deformation happens due to several factors like self-oc...
متن کاملEnhanced Depth from Defocus Estimation: Tolerance to Spatial Displacements
Most existing depth from defocus techniques assume that spatial shifts between a pair of images of the same scene are negligible. In practical computer vision, making sure that there is no displacements is difficult. Such an assumption may thus lead to a lack of accuracy. This paper presents an algorithm for an estimation of depth from defocus blur from two images which is tolerant to spatial s...
متن کاملMonocular 3D Scene Reconstruction at Absolute Scales by Combination of Geometric and Real-Aperture Methods
We propose a method for combining geometric and realaperture methods for monocular 3D reconstruction of static scenes at absolute scales. Our algorithm relies on a sequence of images of the object acquired by a monocular camera of fixed focal setting from different viewpoints. Object features are tracked over a range of distances from the camera with a small depth of field, leading to a varying...
متن کاملRobust Depth-from-Defocus for Autofocusing in the Presence of Image Shifts
A new passive ranging technique named Robust Depth-from-Defocus (RDFD) is presented for autofocusing in digital cameras. It is adapted to work in the presence of image shift and scale change caused by camera/hand/object motion. RDFD is similar to spatial-domain Depth-from-Defocus (DFD) techniques in terms of computational efficiency, but it does not require pixel correspondence between two imag...
