21 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.

System and method to enhance optical bokeh effect of computing device cameras

Described methods and systems for achieving an optical bokeh effect by a camera supporting a computing device, such as a laptop computer. A measurement is performed as to focus spot position of a subject. The depth of field (DOF) of camera lens is determined. An offset as to the focus spot position is calculated such the background of the subject would be blurred to increase the optical bokeh effect. The offset is added to the focus spot position or to be more in focus to decrease optical bokeh in the background, to arrive at a focus spot position that supports the optical bokeh effect.

A semantic segmentation method based on background blur

The present invention relates to a semantic segmentation method based on background blur, which is implemented by embedding a BOKEH module in an existing FCN semantic segmentation network. The algorithm of the BOKEH module is described as #imgabs0##imgabs1#, where img(:,:,k) represents the pixel value size on the k channel of the image; σ represents the blur factor; R B* Represents the overall background rate of the training set; R B The background domain ratio (BGL) represents the background position information of the image. This semantic segmentation method based on background blurring (BOKEH) undergoes in-depth analysis and optimization of the dataset. Without changing the existing network architecture or increasing the data size, it effectively improves the network segmentation performance by embedding the background blurring module (BOKEH) into the existing FCN semantic segmentation network.
