Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media that support multi-frame depth-of-field (MF-DOF) for deblurring background regions of interest (ROIs), such as background faces, that may be blurred due to a large aperture size or other characteristics of the camera used to capture the image frame. The processing may include the use of two image frames obtained at two different focus points corresponding to the multiple ROIs in the image frame. The corrected image frame may be determined by deblurring one or more ROIs of the first image frame using an AI-based model and/or local gradient information. The MF-DOF may allow selectively increasing a depth-of-field (DOF) of an image to provide focused capture of multiple regions of interest, without causing a reduction in aperture (and subsequently an amount of light available for photography) or background blur that may be desired for photography.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to capture images with subjects at different depths of fields. A method of processing image data includes determining, based on a depth map of a previously captured image, a first distance to a first object and a second distance to a second object; identifying a focal point of a camera lens at least in part using the first distance and the second distance; capturing an image using the focal point as a basis for the capture, the image including a first region corresponding to the first object and a second region corresponding to the second object; and generating a second image from the image at least in part by enhancing at least one of the first region or the second region using a point spread function (PSF).

Abstract: Image processing performed on images captured with image capture devices may be used to improve upon some of the problems with images captured from devices, including images captured from devices with larger aperture lenses, and, in some particular examples, mobile devices with larger aperture lenses. Multiple images may be captured by the capture device and processing applied to generate a single image through fusing of the multiple images. One potential benefit obtained with fusion of multiple images is a single image with an effective depth of focus (DOF) larger than that available in a single image obtained from the capture device. The DOF of the fused image may be larger than a single image and/or may include multiple distinct in-focus focal distances, whereas a single image from a single capture device has only a single in-focus focal distance.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides use of transferrin, a transferrin receptor and an antibody thereof in the preparation of an anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug. Use of the transferrin, the transferrin receptor or the transferrin receptor antibody in the preparation of an anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug is provided. Both surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and immunofluorescence confirm that the SARS-CoV-2 binds to the transferrin receptor through SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; the transferrin and/or the transferrin receptor antibody competitively bind(s) to the transferrin receptor of the body, or the transferrin receptor competitively binds to a site of the SARS-CoV-2 to inhibit binding of the SARS-CoV-2 to the transferrin receptor of the body; thus, the opportunity that the SARS-CoV-2 infects cells is blocked, and the antiviral effect of the body is realized.
