Abstract
An image device with image defocus function includes an image capture unit, a depth map generation unit, and a processor. The image capture unit captures an image corresponding to an object. The depth map generation unit generates a depth map corresponding to the object. The processor determines an integration block corresponding to each pixel image of the image according to a depth of the depth map corresponding to the each pixel image and a predetermined depth corresponding to the each pixel image, utilizes the integration block to generate a defocus color pixel value corresponding to the each pixel image, and outputs a defocus image corresponding to the image according to defocus color pixel values corresponding to all pixel images of the image, wherein the each pixel image of the image corresponds to a pixel of the image capture unit.
