Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for supporting a depth estimation procedure by utilizing an adaptive kernel includes a capture subsystem for capturing images of a photographic target. The capture subsystem includes an aperture that is adjustable for admitting reflected light from the photographic target to a sensor device. An adaptive kernel is designed in a kernel design procedure based upon symmetry characteristics of the aperture. The adaptive kernel may be designed in either a frequency-domain kernel design procedure or in a spatial-domain kernel design procedure. A depth estimator utilizes the adaptive kernel for performing the depth estimation procedure.
