Depth from defocus

Abstract

With the recent innovations in 3D technology accurate estimation of depth is very fascinating and challenging problem. In this thesis, a depth estimation algorithm, utilizing Singular Value Decomposition to compute orthogonal operators, has been implemented to test the algorithm on a variety of image database. Due to the difficulty in obtaining the database, an algorithm is implemented, that attempts to generate various synthetic image database of a scene from two defocused images by varying camera parameters. Thus, providing a researcher with more databases to work upon.
