Depth from Defocus Using Wavelet Transform

摘要

We propose a new method for Depth from De-focus (DFD) using wavelet transform. Most of the existing DFD methods use inverse filtering in a transform domain to determine the measure of defocus. These methods suffer from inaccuracies in finding the frequency domain representation due to windowing and border effects. The proposed method uses wavelets that allow performing both the local analysis and windowing with variable-sized regions for images with varying textural properties. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives more accurate depth maps than the previous methods.
