Abstract
A system and method for performing a depth estimation procedure includes a camera device with a sensor device for capturing blur images of a photographic target. Each of the captured blur images has a corresponding scene type that includes either a Gaussian scene type or a pillbox scene type. A depth generator performs a scene recognition procedure to identify the appropriate scene type for the respective blur images. The depth generator then selects an effective depth estimation procedure depending upon the detected scene type.
