Abstract: Focus detection is to determine whether an image is in focus or not. Focus detection is able to be used for improving camera autofocus performance. Focus detection by using only one feature does not provide enough reliability to distinguish in-focus and slightly out-of-focus images. A focus detection algorithm of combining multiple features used to evaluate sharpness is described herein. A large image data set with in-focus and out-of-focus images is used to develop the focus detector for separating the in-focus images from out-of-focus images. Many features such as iterative blur estimation, FFT linearity, edge percentage, wavelet energy ratio, improved wavelet energy ratio, Chebyshev moment ratio and chromatic aberration features are able to be used to evaluate sharpness and determine big blur images.
