Title: SHAPE FROM FOCUS USING OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE
Authors: Muhammad Bilal Ahmad, Tae-Sun Choi, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea
Abstract: Three dimensional (3D) shape recovery using shape from focus (SFF) is presented as an optimization problem, i.e., maximization of the focus measure in the 3D image volume. The whole image volume (sequence) is divided into a number of sub image volumes. The search of 3D shape is made in the sub image volumes using dynamic programming optimization technique. The final depth map is obtained by collecting the depth map of the sub volumes. The new algorithm has considerably decreased the computational complexity by searching the 3D shape in sub image volumes and has shown better results. New 3D focus measure operators are also introduced for higher accuracy at the cost of some computational costs.
