Abstract

See full text

A focus motor of a digital camera is moved to a point of focus from which image data is integrated and evaluated for sharpness and luminance. When the focus motor is stopped, a delay is initiated to allow integration of the image data from which a Sobel value and a luminance value are determined to allow the calculation of a focus value to be calculated from the ratio of the Sobel value to the luminance value. Once the focus value is calculated, the next motor position is determined from which a next focus value is determined.
