Abstract
A camera module with a fixed near field focus is configured to capture a single image. That single image is segmented by an image divider a number of regions. A focus metric determiner then determines a focus metric for each of the regions. A depth map generator maps the focus metric into a depth value for each of the regions and combines the depth values to generate a depth map.
