Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining a depth map in a scene are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, a method includes collecting focus statistical information for a plurality of focus windows. The method may also include determining a focal distance for each window. Further, the method may include determining near, far, and target focus distances. The method may also include calculating a stereo-base and screen plane using the focus distances.
