Abstract

This paper focuses on extracting depth information with an aperture-rotating camera. Compared with previous work, the proposed method is applicable for arbitrary rotation angle by making use of pixel registration to get pixel shift angle, and calculating the pixel shift along this angle. Besides, consumption time for shift angle is reduced by means of sampling. Compared with point-by-point method, the proposed method reduces the computation time from about 1 h to 1 min for a 15-megapixel image. Experimental results of a scene named "bottles" show that the depth value has a margin of error of 5%. Proposed method makes it possible to extract depth information with a single camera and expands the application of DSLR camera.
