Abstract

A phase-detection auto focus method includes: dividing a focus region into a plurality of sub-regions, and respectively calculating a phase difference and a confidence level of each sub-region; performing dynamic matching in a corresponding weight table according to the phase difference and the confidence level of each sub-region, and performing a table lookup to obtain a corresponding weight value; calculating a phase difference and a confidence level of the focus region in conjunction with the weight value; and performing auto focusing according to the phase difference and the confidence level of the focus region.
