There is an increasing need for passive 3D scanning in many applications that have
stringent energy constraints. In this paper, we present an approach for single frame, single …

In this paper, we propose the first end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN)
architecture, Defocus Map Estimation Network (DMENet), for spatially varying defocus map …

Camera arrays provide spatial and angular information within a single snapshot. With
refocusing methods, focal planes can be altered after exposure. In this letter, we propose a …
