All-in-Focus Imaging From Event Focal Stack
Traditional focal stack methods require multiple shots to capture images focused at different distances of the same scene, which cannot be applied to dynamic scenes well. Generating a high-quality all-in-focus image from a single shot is challenging, due to the highly ill-posed nature of the single-image defocus and deblurring problem. In this paper, to restore an all-in-focus image, we propose the event focal stack which is defined as event streams captured during a continuous focal sweep. Given an RGB image focused at an arbitrary distance, we explore the high temporal resolution of event streams, from which we automatically select refocusing timestamps and reconstruct corresponding refocused images with events to form a focal stack. Guided by the neighbouring events around the selected timestamps, we can merge the focal stack with proper weights and restore a sharp all-in-focus image. Experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets show superior performance over state-of-the-art methods.

Dense Depth from Event Focal Stack
We propose a method for dense depth estimation from an event stream generated when sweeping the focal plane of the driving lens attached to an event camera. In this method, a depth map is inferred from an ``event focal s…
Depth EstimationLearning Monocular Depth from Focus with Event Focal Stack
Depth from Focus estimates depth by determining the moment of maximum focus from multiple shots at different focal distances, i.e. the Focal Stack. However, the limited sampling rate of conventional optical cameras makes…
Spectrum from Defocus: Fast Spectral Imaging with Chromatic Focal Stack
Hyperspectral cameras face harsh trade-offs between spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution in an inherently low-photon regime. Computational imaging systems break through these trade-offs with compressive sensing, bu…
