Abstract
A method including automatically segmenting regions of images of a focal stack into segment regions; and based, at least partially, upon selection of one or more of the segment regions, generating a refocused image which induces different ones of the segment regions from at least two of the images of the focal stack. An apparatus including an image segmentator for a focal stack of images, where the image segmentator is configured to automatically form segment regions for each of the images; and a focal stack fuser configured to fuse the focal stack of images into a refocused image, where the refocused image comprises different ones of the segment regions from at least two of the images of the focal stack.

1-39. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- form segment regions for at least some images;
- and
- fuse a focal stack of images into a refocused image, wherein the refocused image comprises different ones of the segment regions from at least two of the images of the focal stack.
A method comprising:
- forming segment regions for at least some images;
- and
- fusing a focal stack of images into a refocused image, wherein the refocused image comprises different ones of the segment regions from at least two of the images of the focal stack.
A non-transitory program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine for performing operations, the operations comprising:
- forming segment regions for at least some images;
- and
- fusing a focal stack of images into a refocused image, wherein the refocused image comprises different ones of the segment regions from at least two of the images of the focal stack.
