Techniques for performing phase detect operations are described. The techniques include obtaining first measurements with a set of half-shield phase-detect sensors; obtaining second measurements with a set of non-phase detect sensors that are not configured as phase-detect sensor; and determining a phase difference based on the first measurements and the second measurements.

Phase detection techniques for half-shield phase-detect sensors

Enhanced phase detection for a PDAF sensor includes extracting pixel data from image data, the image data captured from an image capturing device having a phase detection autofocus (PDAF) sensor; extracting one or more features from the pixel data, including removing irrelevant pixel data; and determining a phase difference between the one or more features.
