In an image, estimating the distance between objects and the camera by using the blur in the images as clue, also known as depth from focus/defocus, is essential in computer vision. However, ...

Researchers in SFU’s Computational Photography Lab hope to give computers a visual advantage that we humans take for granted—the ability to see depth in photographs. While humans naturally can ...

The proposed method takes as input the focal stack and camera settings, and establishes a cost volume based on a lens defocus model. This design enables depth estimation with different camera settings ...
