Abstract

A system and method of operation of an imaging system includes: a capture module for receiving an input sequence with an image pair, the image pair having a first image and a second image and for determining a first patch from the first image and a second patch from the second image; an iteration module for generating an iteration map from the first patch of the first image and the second patch of the second image; and a position module for generating a final depth map from the iteration map and for determining a focus position from the final depth map.
