Shallow Depth Map Estimation from Image Defocus Blur Point Spread Function Information
The aim of this research is addressing both the influence of the limited aperture size of the optical imaging system of the camera, and the defocus aberration influence on output images in order to measure useful information such as defocus and depth through the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), further we analyze the existing defocus levels by measuring the size of blur kernels. One of the goals of our study is to make shallow depth photos with blurry background; photographers need to use cameras such as SLR (single-lens reflex) not only for carefully choosing the best position with respect to the object but also changing the lens effective focal length or aperture size in order to obtain an artistic effect mostly desired in many types of photographs (e.g. portraits), which is not available for normal camera users who prefer to use low cost compact point-and-shot cameras; for their ease of use and convenience.Nowadays, the size of TFT-LCDs (thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal displays) is getting larger, as a result; it becomes harder to inspect defects that may exist which usually require a human visual examiner to judge the severity of the defects on the final product. These defects; so called mura (Japanese shorthand) are defined as visual blemish with non-uniform shapes and boundaries. It is becoming a very serious unpleasant effect which needs to be detected and inspected in order to characterize the LCD's quality. Through this research, we essentially propose two contributions. One that given only two images taken under different camera parameters, we measure a reliable defocus map based on scale-space analysis, then we propagate the defocus measures over edges to the entire image using matting process, eventually we will have a refined dense defocus map, which is utilized in applications such as amplifying the existing blurriness yielding a shallow depth photos from all focused images. On the other hand, it helps extracting the foreground object shape and isolating it from the background. The second contribution is experimentally detecting many types of MURA defects on LCD panels by some low-complex effective post-processing imaging techniques.Practically; we utilize the computational photography techniques to amplify defocus levels and to detect low contrast defects such as MURA. Our Computational techniques will allow the average photographers to capture more appealing photos, and the LCD manufacturers to increase their Engineer's efficiencies and performance. We strongly proof that this study will enable cameras and automated vision systems to embed useful computation with few user interventions.

Computer vision is becoming increasingly important in several industrial applications such as automated inspection, robotic manipulations and autonomous vehicle guidance. These tasks are performed in a 3-D world and it is imperative to gather reliable information on the 3-D structure of the scene. This book is about passive techniques for depth recovery, where the scene is illuminated only by natural light as opposed to active methods where a special lighting device is used for scene illumination. Passive methods have a wider range of applicability and also correspond to the way humans infer 3-D structure from visual images.
Computer Vision – ECCV 2020
The 30-volume set, comprising the LNCS books 12346 until 12375, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2020, which was planned to be held in Glasgow, UK, during August 23-28, 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 1360 revised papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 5025 submissions. The papers deal with topics such as computer vision; machine learning; deep neural networks; reinforcement learning; object recognition; image classification; image processing; object detection; semantic segmentation; human pose estimation; 3d reconstruction; stereo vision; computational photography; neural networks; image coding; image reconstruction; object recognition; motion estimation.
