Abstract

A system for performing an enhanced scene detection procedure including a sensor device for capturing blur images of a photographic target. The blur images each correspond to a scene type that is detected from a first scene type which is typically a pillbox blur scene, and a second scene type which is typically a Gaussian scene type. A scene detector performs an initial scene detection procedure to identify a candidate scene type for the blur images. The scene detector then performs the enhanced scene detection procedure to identify a final scene type for the blur images.
