15 results about "Bokeh" patented technology

In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə or /ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay; Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting ("good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively). Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.

Image processing with adjustable Bokeh effect

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support adjusting a Bokeh effect in image data. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving a first user input specifying a first depth of focus. A camera is configured with a first aperture size of a plurality of aperture sizes of the camera that is nearest a second aperture size that corresponds to the first depth of focus. The first aperture size is smaller than the second aperture size. Image data representing a scene is received that is captured with the first aperture size of the camera. First modified image data is determined by applying a first blur kernel to the image data. The first modified image data represents the scene at the depth of focus corresponding to the second aperture size. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
