Abstract
This paper proposes a novel refocusing method that can effectively, digitally refocus objects on the arbitrary plane of the three-dimensional scene from the all-in-focus intensity and depth image pair with a liquid crystal (LC) lens camera. LC lens imaging system combines the transient prosperity of LC lens and the image process to simultaneously obtain the large depth of field intensity and depth image. The LC lens imaging system captured a set of constant magnification images with different focused distances between the two LC lens states’ switching. Then the depth information will be calculated with the far- and near-focused images, and the large depth of field intensity will be fused from the sets of images.
