Image Focus Measure Based on Energy of High Frequency Components in S-Transform
Abstract
Focus measure computes sharpness or high frequency contents in an image. It plays an important role in many image processing and computer vision applications such as shape from focus (SFF) techniques and multi-focus image fusion algorithms. In this chapter, we discuss different focus measures in spatial as well as in the transform domains. In addition, we suggest a novel focus measure in S-transform domain, which is based on the energy of high frequency components. A localized spectrum, by using variable window size, provides a more accurate method of measuring image sharpness as compared to other focus measures proposed in spectral domains. An optimal focus measure is obtained by selecting an appropriate frequency dependent window width. The performance of the proposed focus measure is compared with those of existing focus measures in terms of three dimensional shape recovery and all-in-focus image generation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed focus measure.
