Abstract
A method includes determining, using at least one processor, a depth of range of focus for a scene. The method also includes determining, using the at least one processor, multiple layers associated with the scene based on the depth of focus range, where each layer is associated with image data having a different range of disparity values. The method further includes blending, using the at least one processor, the layers to produce an image having a Bokeh effect in a foreground and a background, and focused image data within the depth of focus range. The multiple layers include at least a first layer associated with the foreground, a second layer associated with the depth of focus range, and a third layer associated with the background.
