Image Focus Editing

Summary
This invention allows image focus editing. Given an image with a mixture of focused and defocused objects, image focus editing refers to the ability to convert defocused objects info focused ones or vice versa. The image focus editing problem is addressed under the blind deconvolution framework where the image prior is modeled using both global and local constraints. The invention consists of a number of steps which include edge detections, focus map estimation, image refocusing and defocusing.
