    Abstract: An image processing device comprising a processor configured to generate a refocused image from an input image and an map indicating depth information for the image, by the steps of: for each of a plurality of planes associated with respective depths within the image: generating a depth mask having values indicating whether regions of the input image are within a specified range of the plane, wherein an assessment of whether a region is within the specified range of the plane is made through the evaluation of a differentiable function of the range between regions of the input image and the plane as determined from the map; generating a masked image from the input image and the generated depth mask; refocusing the masked image using a blurring kernel to generate a refocused partial image; and generating the refocussed image from the plurality of refocussed partial images.

    Abstract: An image processing system configured to receive an input time-of-flight depth map representing the distance of objects in an image from a camera at a plurality of locations of pixels in the respective image, and in dependence on that map to generate an improved time-of-flight depth map for the image, the input time-of-flight depth map having been generated from at least one correlation image representing the overlap between emitted and reflected light signals at the plurality of locations of pixels at a given phase shift, the system being configured to generate the improved time-of-flight depth map from the input time-of-flight depth map in dependence on a colour representation of the respective image and at least one correlation image.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing device comprising a processor configured to estimate the scale of image features by the steps of: processing multiple images of a scene by means of a first trained model to identify features in the images and to estimate the depths of those features in the images; processing the multiple images by a second trained model to estimate a scaling for the images; and estimating the scales of the features by adjusting the estimated depths in dependence on the estimated scaling. A method for training an image processing model is also disclosed.
