    Abstract: An auto focus (AF) method and an AF apparatus are provided. The method includes the following steps. At least one target object is selected and photographed by a first image sensor and a second image sensor to generate a three-dimensional (3D) depth map. A block covering at least one initial focusing point is selected. The 3D depth map is queried for reading depth information of a plurality of pixels in the block. It is determined whether depth information of the pixels is enough to operate. If yes, a first statistics operation is performed, and focusing depth information is obtained. If not, the position of the block is moved or the size of the block is enlarged to obtain the focusing depth information. A focusing position is obtained according to the focusing depth information and the AF apparatus is driven to perform an AF procedure according to the focusing position.

  • Patent number: 8693783
    Abstract: A processing method for image interpolation is provided. In the method, a contour containing a destination pixel and a plurality of contour pixels is produced and detected by using an edge detection method for a selected area in an original image. Next, two extreme points are identified from the contour pixels by judging the changing trend of brightness value of the contour pixels on the contour. Then using the changing trend and two extreme points determines whether the destination pixel is located at a transition area or a non-transition area. If the destination pixel is located at the non-transition area, an interpolation adjust value is calculated according to the brightness values of the two extreme points and the brightness value of the destination pixel. An interpolation result of the destination pixel is obtained by performing the interpolation on the selected area according to the interpolation adjust value.
