Abstract
An image processing apparatus and method for generating a sub-pixel alignment estimate from dual-pixel sensor data is provided. The method includes parametrically fitting at least two signals observed across a two dual-pixels of the dual-pixel sensor in the direction of the dual-pixel split, generating at least one bilinear measure on the at least two signals' fitting parameters, determining an alignment confidence based at least in part on the at least one bilinear measure on the at least two signals' fitting parameters, and determining the sub-pixel alignment estimate based at least in part on the at least one bilinear measure on the at least two signals' fitting parameters.
