Abstract:
The present disclosure describes imaging techniques and devices having improved autofocus capabilities. The imaging techniques can include actively illuminating a scene and determining distances over the entire scene and so that a respective distance to each object or point in the scene can be determined. Thus, distances to all objects in a scene (within a particular range) at any given instant can be stored. A preview of the image can be displayed so as to allow a user to select a region of the scene of interest. In response to the user's selection, the imager's optical assembly can be adjusted automatically, for example, to a position that corresponds to optimal image capture of objects at the particular distance of the selected region of the scene.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of generating an image comprising:\n displaying a first image on a display screen, wherein each of multiple regions of the displayed image has associated therewith a respective distance value; receiving input indicative of a user-selection of one of the regions of the displayed image; and in response to receiving the user input, adjusting a position of an optical assembly of an imager so that the imager is focused on one or more objects at a distance that corresponds to the distance value associated with the user-selected region of the displayed image.
