Abstract
To overcome several issues of autofocusing, a deep-learning-based autofocus system utilizes a subject's body to autofocus on the subject's face. The subject, including the subject's body and face/head, are determined utilizing image processing methods, and based on the detection, the subject's face/head is automatically focused on.
