Edge Width Estimation for Defocus Map from a Single Image
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new edge width estimation method based on Gaussian edge model and unsharp mask analysis. The proposed method is accurate and robust to noise. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by its application for the problem of defocus map estimation from a single image. Sparse defocus map is constructed using edge detection algorithm followed by the proposed edge width estimation algorithm. Then full defocus map is obtained by propagating the blur amount at edge locations to the entire image. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in providing a reliable estimation of the defocus map.

Defocus map estimation from a single image
In this paper, we address the challenging problem of recovering the defocus map from a single image. We present a simple yet effective approach to estimate the amount of spatially varying defocus blur at edge locations. The input defocused image is re-blurred using a Gaussian kernel and the defocus blur amount can be obtained from the ratio between the gradients of input and re-blurred images. ...
متن کاملDefocus map estimation from a single image via spectrum contrast.
We present an effective method for defocus map estimation from a single natural image. It is inspired by the observation that defocusing can significantly affect the spectrum amplitude at the object edge locations in an image. By establishing the relationship between the amount of spatially varying defocus blur and spectrum contrast at edge locations, we first estimate the blur amount at these ...
متن کاملImage and Depth from a Single Defocused Image Using Coded Aperture Photography
Depth from defocus and defocus deblurring from a single image are two challenging problems that are derived from the finite depth of field in conventional cameras. Coded aperture imaging is one of the techniques that is used for improving the results of these two problems. Up to now, different methods have been proposed for improving the results of either defocus deblurring or depth estimation....
متن کاملOn the Recovery of Depth from a Single Defocused Image
In this paper we address the challenging problem of recovering the depth of a scene from a single image using defocus cue. To achieve this, we first present a novel approach to estimate the amount of spatially varying defocus blur at edge locations. We re-blur the input image and show that the gradient magnitude ratio between the input and re-blurred images depends only on the amount of defocus...
متن کاملOn defocus, diffusion and depth estimation
An intrinsic property of real aperture imaging has been that the observations tend to be defocused. This artifact has been used in an innovative manner by researchers for depth estimation, since the amount of defocus varies with varying depth in the scene. There have been various methods to model the defocus blur. We model the defocus process using the model of diffusion of heat. The diffusion ...
