Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for selecting a digital image having controlled sharpness characteristics from a set of candidate digital images of a common scene, each digital image having different sharpness characteristics. An image segmentation process is used to segment each of the candidate digital images into a subject region and a background region. For each candidate digital image the subject and background regions are analyzed to determine an associated subject and background sharpness levels. An output digital image is selected by comparing the determined subject and background sharpness levels to respective aim subject and background sharpness levels. In some embodiments, the aim subject and background sharpness levels are defined in accordance with a scene type classification.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for providing a digital image having controlled sharpness characteristics, the method being implemented at least in part by a data processing system, comprising: receiving a set of candidate digital images of a common scene, each digital image having different sharpness characteristics; applying an image segmentation process to segment each of the candidate digital images into a subject region and a background region; for each candidate di…
