Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for estimating object distance with camera lens focus calibration are disclosed. A relationship between in-focus lens position and object distance is captured in a calibration phase for a plurality of object distances and lens positions for a given camera. The in-focus lens positions and corresponding object distances are stored as calibration data in a memory device of the given camera. Next, during operation of the given camera, a control circuit receives the in-focus lens position that was used to capture a given image. Then, the control circuit performs a lookup of the calibration data with the in-focus lens position to retrieve a corresponding object distance. Next, the corresponding object distance is used as an estimate of a distance to an object in the scene captured in the given image by the given camera.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve blending images using neural networks to automatically generate alignment or photometric adjustments that control image blending operations. For instance, a foreground image and a background image data are provided to an adjustment-prediction network that has been trained, using a reward network, to compute alignment or photometric adjustments that optimize blending reward scores. An adjustment action (e.g., an alignment or photometric adjustment) is computed by applying the adjustment-prediction network to the foreground image and the background image data. A target background region is extracted from the background image data by applying the adjustment action to the background image data. The target background region is blended with the foreground image, and the resultant blended image is outputted.
