There are many factors affecting the depth estimation for 3D shape recovery using passive optical methods. In this paper, we consider the effects of noise, source illumination and texture reflectance for shape from focus technique. We present a focus measure which shows consistent performance for varying noise levels, source illumination levels and different texture reflectance. The focus measure is based on an optical transfer function implemented in the Fourier domain and its results are compared with four other focus measures. The additive Gaussian noise is considered for noise analysis. Three illumination levels are considered for source illumination and three different textures are studied for reflectance analysis.

Three-dimensional (3D) shape reconstruction is a fundamental problem in machine vision applications. Shape from focus (SFF) is one of the passive optical methods for 3D shape recovery, which uses degree of focus as a cue to estimate 3D shape. In this approach, usually a single focus measure operator is applied to measure the focus quality of each pixel in image sequence. However, the applicability of a single focus measure is limited to estimate accurately the depth map for diverse type of real objects. To address this problem, we introduce the development of optimal composite depth (OCD) function through genetic programming (GP) for accurate depth estimation. The OCD function is developed through optimally combining the primary information extracted using one (homogeneous features) or more focus measures (heterogeneous features). The genetically developed composite function is then used to compute the optimal depth map of objects. The performance of this function is investigated using both synthetic and real world image sequences. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed estimator is more accurate than existing SFF methods. Further, it is found that heterogeneous function is more effective than homogeneous function.
