Abstract
The present inventive concepts discloses methods, apparatuses, and/or systems for enabling spatially varying auto focusing of one or more objects using an image capturing system. The methods, apparatuses, and/or systems may include focusing objects in a region of interest using lenses, enabling spatially varying auto focusing of objects in the region of interest using a spatial light modulators (SLM), which are out of focus in the region of interest, and capturing the focused and the auto focused objects in the region of interest using a camera sensor.
