  • Extended depth of field using deep learning
    Publication number: 20240107162
    Abstract: A method for image enhancement includes capturing multiple input images of a scene, including at least a first input image having a first field of view (FOV) captured with a first focal depth and a second input image having a second FOV captured with a second focal depth. The input images in the sequence are preprocessed so as to align the images. The aligned images are processed in a neural network, which generates an output image having an extended depth of field encompassing at least the first and second focal depths.

  • Synthesized Camera Arrays for Rendering Novel Viewpoints
    Publication number: 20230368432
    Abstract: Novel viewpoints may be rendered using arrays of camera images with synthesized viewpoints. Different viewpoints of a scene may be captured via image sensors. Depth information may be determined for the captured viewpoints. An array of images may be generated that includes synthetic viewpoints generated from the captured viewpoints and depth information. A request to render a novel viewpoint may be received. Then novel viewpoint may be rendered using the array of images with synthetic viewpoints.
