This paper presents a novel technique to simultaneously estimate the depth map and the
focused image of a scene, both at a super-resolution, from its defocused observations …

Accommodation cues are measurable properties of an image that are associated with a
change in the geometry of the imaging device. To what extent can three-dimensional shape …

Described methods for simultaneously generating the super-resolved depth map and the
image from LR observations. Structural information is embedded within the observations …

We present a novel algorithm to reconstruct the geometry and photometry of a scene with
occlusions from a collection of defocused images. The presence of a finite lens aperture …

It is generally accepted that to develop versatile bin-picking systems capable of grasping
and manipulation operations, accurate 3-D information is required. To accomplish this goal …

We describe a novel approach whereby a phase mask consisting of several spatially
multiplexed Fresnel lenses (FL) positioned in the pupil of an imaging system increases the …

Biotechnologies demand high quality micro robotics including micromanipulation, micro
machining, micro assembling, and other required micro operations. Most of them are done …

This paper presents a homotopy-based algorithm for the recovery of depth cues in the
spatial domain. The algorithm specifically deals with defocus blur and spatial shifts, that is …

In this paper, we propose a robust and computationally fast focus measure for cathode ray
tubes (CRTs) found in TVs and computer and video monitors. The focus measure is …
