All-in-focus implementation

摘要

Various systems and methods for an all-in-focus implementation are described herein. A system to for operating a camera, comprising an image sensor in the camera to capture a sequence of images in different focal planes, at least a portion of the sequence of images occurring before receiving a signal to store an all-in-focus image, a user interface module to receive, from a user, the signal to store an all-in-focus image, and an image processor to fuse at least two images to result in the all-in-focus image, wherein the at least two images have different focal planes.

1. A camera system comprising:
an image storage device to store a sequence of images in different focal planes, at least a portion of the sequence of images occurring before receiving a signal to store an all-in-focus image; a user interface module to receive, from a user, the signal to store an all-in-focus image; and an image processor to fuse at least two images to result in the all-in-focus image, wherein the at least two images have different focal planes, wherein receiving the signal to store the all-in-focus image occurs at a first time, and wherein the image processor is to:
estimate a second time, the second time occurring before the first time and the second time representing when the user intended to store the all-in-focus image; and fuse the at least two images to result in the all-in-focus image by selecting the at least two images from the sequence of images at the second time.
