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.
Claims17
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;
- and
- generating, via an electronic control unit of the mobile electronic device, a final digital image by applying the selected full-frame profile to the image information so as to simulate the imaging characteristics of the full-frame camera and lens on the mobile device sensor data;
- 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;
- wherein the full-frame camera includes a color sensor that has a larger area than an area of the electronic sensor of the mobile electronic device.

An imaging system, comprising:
- a plurality of electronic profiles of combinations of full-frame cameras and lenses stored in an electronic memory;
- and
- a mobile electronic device configured to obtain image information via an electronic sensor of the mobile electronic device;
- wherein the mobile electronic device is configured to generate, via an electronic control unit of the mobile electronic device, a final digital image by retrieving a selected full-frame camera and lens profile from the plurality of electronic profiles and applying it to the image information to render the image with simulated optical characteristics of the full-frame camera;
- 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;
- and
- quantizing the upscaled blur radius map to the closest indices in PSF information of the profile;
- wherein the full-frame camera includes a color sensor that has a larger area than an area of the electronic sensor of the mobile electronic device.
