Abstract

An apparatus configured for image processing comprises one or more processors configured to determine data associated with a distance between an object and the apparatus and determine a plurality of lens positions of a camera lens based on the data associated with the distance between the object and the apparatus. The one or more processors are further configured to determine, for each one of the plurality of lens positions, a respective focus value to generate a plurality of focus values. To determine, for each one of the plurality of lens positions, the respective focus value, the one or more processors are configured to determine, for each one of the plurality of lens positions, phase difference information. The one or more processors are further configured to determine a final lens position based on the plurality of focus values.
