Popis: Depth estimation plays an important role in many computer vision and computer graphics applications. Existing depth measurement techniques are still complex and restrictive. In this paper, we present a novel technique for inferring depth measurements via depth from defocus using active quasi-random point projection patterns. A quasi-random point projection pattern is projected onto the scene of interest, and each projection point in the image captured by a cellphone camera is analyzed using a deep learning model to estimate the depth at that point. The proposed method has a relatively simple setup, consisting of a camera and a projector, and enables depth inference from a single capture. We evaluate the proposed method both quantitatively and qualitatively and demonstrate strong potential for simple and efficient depth sensing.
