Real-Time Depth From Focus on a Programmable Focal Plane Processor.

Visual input can be used to recover the 3-D structure of a scene by estimating distances (depth) to the observer. Depth estimation is performed in various applications, such as robotics, autonomous driving, or surveillance. We present a low-power, compact, passive, and static imaging system that computes a semi-dense depth map in real time for a wide range of depths. This is achieved by using a fo...
