Immersive video processing combines advanced capture, encoding and rendering methods to deliver three-dimensional visual experiences that allow users to move freely within a virtual scene. At its core ...

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 ...

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, ...

Apple's Machine Learning Research wing has developed a foundational AI model "for zero-shot metric monocular depth estimation." Depth Pro enables high-speed generation of detailed 3D depth maps from a ...

In recent years, artificial intelligence has demonstrated tremendous potential for the development and advancement of a wide variety of technologies. A good example is facial direction estimation, ...

Researchers from the University of Tartu Institute of Physics have developed a novel method for enhancing the quality of three-dimensional images by increasing the depth of focus in holograms fivefold ...

Photos can pop when one area is in sharp focus and the other blurry, providing the impression of depth in a two-dimensional image that matches how our eyes focus on objects, even though we don’t ...
