This is commonly +called extended depth of field, or focus stacking. Typical use is for +microscope photography where it is difficult to obtain large enough +depth of field to cover the whole subject. The focus stacking +algorithm used was invented and first described in "Complex Wavelets +for Extended Depth-of-Field: A New Method for the Fusion of +Multichannel Microscopy Images" by B. Forster, D. Van De Ville, J. +Berent, D. Sage and M. Unser. The application also uses multiple +algorithms from OpenCV library. Most importantly, findTransformECC +is used to align the source images. |
