Title: Focus setting determination
Inventor: Nerhun Yildiz
IPC: H04N23/67
Filed: 2019-09-10
Abstract: Determining a focus setting for an image capture device, by, for each of a plurality of image zones: obtaining a first value of a focus metric for the respective image zone using a first image captured with a first focus setting 168; obtaining a second value of the focus metric for the respective image zone using a second image captured with a second focus setting174; and processing the first and second values to obtain an estimated focus setting for each image zone 176. The focus setting is a weighted sum of the estimated focus setting for a plurality of image zones 178. In embodiments the focus metrics are derived from contrast-based data obtained from the captured images. Preferably the weighted sums are based on a dispersion metric for each image zone/region representing the dispersion of the estimated focus setting (e.g. a measure, like standard deviation or variance, of the spread of the distribution of the estimated focus settings). The weighted sum may also depend on the difference between each respective estimated focus setting and an average of the estimated focus settings. Certain zones (such as those with an outlying or unreliable estimate) can be excluded from the weighted sum.
