Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of operation of a depth estimation system includes: calculating focus measures for positions on a two-dimensional image; generating a depth map for the two-dimensional image based on fitting the focus measure through a Gaussian function; generating a three-dimensional image from the depth map and the two-dimensional image; and processing the three-dimensional image on a storage unit for displaying on a device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operation of a depth estimation system comprising: calculating focus measures for representing edges in a two-dimensional image for depicting a center object; generating a depth map with a control unit for the two-dimensional image based on fitting the focus measures through a Gaussian function, the depth map including an object center location corresponding to a position within the two-dimensional image for estimating a location of the center…
