We present a novel method for inferring three-dimensional shape from a collection of defocused images. It is based on the observation that defocused images are the null-space of ce...
Most algorithms for reconstructing shape from defocus assume that the images are obtained with a camera that has been previously calibrated so that the aperture, focal plane, and ...

Defocus can be modeled as a diffusion process and represented mathematically using the heat equation, where image blur corresponds to the diffusion of heat. This analogy can be ext...

We address the problem of estimating the three-dimensional shape and radiance of a surface in space from images obtained with different focal settings. We pose the problem as an in...
