Abstract
A method of generating an image may include obtaining a profile of a combination of a full-frame camera and a lens; obtaining image information from an electronic sensor of a mobile electronic device; and/or generating, via an electronic control unit of the mobile electronic device, a final digital image via applying a profile of the one or more profiles to the image information.
Claims16
A method of generating a digital image, the method comprising:
- obtaining a profile of a combination of a full-frame camera and a lens;
- obtaining image information from an electronic sensor of a mobile electronic device;
- generating, via an electronic control unit of the mobile electronic device, a final digital image via applying the profile to the image information;
- wherein the image information includes color information and depth information;
- wherein the depth information includes a depth map;
- wherein generating the final digital image includes:
- identifying a focus area in the depth map;
- converting the depth map to a blur radius map;
- applying guided upscaling to the blur radius map;
- quantizing the upscaled blur radius map to the closest indices in PSF information of the profile;
- preprocessing the PSF information;
- looking up front and back neighbor PSFs in the PSF information for the quantized upscaled blur radius map;
- calculating interpolation factors;
- modifying the neighbor PSFs;
- converting the image information to a linear tone curve;
- applying a per-pixel render procedure based, at least in part, on the converted image information and the modified PSFs, to provide an intermediate image;
- restoring the tone curve for the intermediate image;
- and
- blending back sharp pixels in the foreground of the intermediate image.
