초록

A variety of techniques have been proposed in the literature for depth improvement in depth from focus method. Unfortunately, these techniques over-smooth the depth maps over the regions of depth discontinuities. In this paper, we propose a robust technique for improving the depth map by employing a nonconvex smoothness function that preserves the depth edges. In addition, the proposed technique exploits the mutual structures between the depth map and a guidance map. This guidance map is designed by taking the mean of image intensities in the image sequence. The depth map is updated iteratively till the nonconvex objective function converges. Experiments performed on real complex image sequences revealed the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
