Area in focus

mau
Dear all,

I wonder if it's possible to automatically detect (and maybe mark) the area which is reasonably well in focus of an image, with digikam or maybe with other tools. Any ideas?

Thank you for your inputs.
B.M.

Re: Area in focus

I think darktable has something like that (I use the program, but not this functionality), but it works with RAW pictures only.

Re: Area in focus

Gilles Caulier-4
We have 2 entries in bugzilla about this topic to look which area have been focused while shot. The first deal is to read metadata where camera store this information. This way is fast.


There is another entry which require a different approach : analysis the content of image to see where are the most focused pixels. This way is used in Darktable. This way is slow of course because whole pixels images must be parsed. 


As we have already an algorithm to detect blur image, the second point will be easy to implement i think. For the first one, Exiv2 must be patched to decode camera marker-notes relevant of focus point. As each camera maker use a different approach, this will be complex. Note : these information are stored in private Exif area and of course are not documented.

Both way can be proposed for students next summer...

The image data probably contains the focus point(s) active, but in case of
recomposing they may not point to the actual focused area, which favors the
slower analysis. Nice to have, though :)
