Variational Depth from Focus Reconstruction

I’m happy that our variational-depth-from-focus project that we developed during the Practical Course: GPU Programming in Computer Vision, is finally online. It is a CUDA implementation of “Variational Depth from Focus Reconstruction” [Moeller 2015]. Intro The whole idea is that you can get a depth map from a set of aligned, differently focused images. This technique can be used e.g. in movie productions to capture the static 3d geometry of a scene to add special effects later on or in microscopy to get an elevation map of the probe. Abstract This paper deals with the problem of reconstructing a depth map from a sequence of differently focused images, also known as depth from focus or shape from focus. We propose to state the depth from focus problem as a variational problem including a smooth but nonconvex data fidelity term, and a convex nonsmooth regularization, which makes the method robust to noise and leads to more realistic depth maps. Additionally, we propose to solve the nonconvex minimization problem with a linearized alternating directions method of multipliers (ADMM), allowing to minimize the energy very efficiently. A numerical comparison to classical methods on simulated as well as on real data is presented. Example We recorded this sequence of 19 differently focused images http://in.tum.de/~haarbach/balcony.zip (19 images, 8.7MB) The first image of the sequence is shown below: After running our algorithm, we get the following smooth depth map:
