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, ...

Monocular depth estimation is an important but challenging task. Although the performance has been improved by adopting various encoder-decoder architectures, the estimated depth maps lack structure ...

Researchers from Penn State and Loughborough University have developed a computer vision technique that visualizes the flow of brushstrokes in iconic paintings. By mapping stroke direction, curvature, ...

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 ...
