Abstract
Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to provide enhanced synthetic Shallow Depth of Field (SDOF) images, e.g., by using information from images captured by image camera devices and one or more Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) trained to determine how much blurring should be applied to pixels in a mask region (e.g., a region of pixels having an indeterminate foreground or background status and threshold level of gradient magnitude) within an image, given context from surrounding pixels in a reference image and/or an unenhanced synthetic SDOF image. To train the DNNs, various sets of ground truth DSLR images of static scenes, captured at varying aperture settings, may be analyzed. Preferably, such static scenes cover many examples of human subjects (or other objects of interest) with different amounts of scene foreground/background separation, lighting conditions, and various kinds of hair, fabric, or other fine-grained details occurring near their foreground/background transition.
