Abstract

Exaggerated defocus cannot be achieved with an ordinary compact digital camera because of its tiny sensor size, so taking pictures that draw the attention of a viewer to the subject is hard. Many methods are available for controlling the focus and defocus of previously taken pictures. However, most of these methods require custom-built equipment such as a camera array to take pictures. Therefore, in this paper, we describe a method for creating images focused at any depth with an arbitrarily blurred background from a set of images taken by a handheld compact digital camera that is moved at random. Our method can produce various aesthetic blurs by changing the size, shape, or density of the blur kernel. In addition, we demonstrate the potential of our method through a subjective evaluation of blurred images created by our system.
