METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A SHARP IMAGE

摘要

Methods and apparatus for generating a sharp image are described. A camera device includes a plurality of camera modules, e.g., optical chains, where at least some of the camera modules have different depths of field. Multiple images of a scene are captured using the plurality of camera modules. Portions of the multiple images which correspond to the same scene area are identified. Image portion sharpness levels are determined for individual image portions. Image portions with high sharpness levels are selected and included in a composite image.

1. A method of generating an image, the method comprising:
receiving multiple images of a scene captured using camera modules, at least some of said camera modules having different depths of field; determining an image portion sharpness level for each of a plurality of portions of said multiple images; and generating a composite image from said multiple images based on the determined image portion sharpness levels.
