The focus measure is widely used in the shape from focus, passive autofocus, etc, and its performance determines the application results of these techniques. In this paper, a new focus measure that combines two existing focus measures is proposed to improve performance, including the sensitivity to defocus and the independence of image content. Comparative experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed focus measure. This paper provides a new idea for follow-up research on high-performance focus measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
