Autofocus changed the way photos are taken, making it easier to capture and keep the subject in sharp focus. Since autofocus was first introduced, it has become much more complicated, offering different focus modes, focus types, and focus points. What started out as a way to simplify the photo-making process has turned into a complicated endeavor with numerous choices and settings. A Photographer’s Guide to Focus and Autofocus: From Snapshots to Great Shots is here to answer all your questions about the focusing system in today’s cameras and their various autofocus modes. Photographer Alan Hess covers the simple basics of focus: manual focus versus autofocus, the best focus modes to use, and how focus works in both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Then he discusses more advanced topics, including autofocus sensor types, back-button autofocus, and focus for DSLR video. There is much more to autofocus, and focus in general, than just pushing the shutter release button and hoping the image is sharp and in focus. With this book, you’ll learn how to get the right focus in your images, no matter what the occasion. Follow along with your friendly and knowledgeable guide, and you will: Learn the top ten things to know about focus, including how to use the focus controls on the camera, how to pick the autofocus point, and when to use pre-focus in your images Address common autofocus issues such as dealing with low contrast or low light, or shooting through obstacles like glass or a fence Develop troubleshooting techniques for what to do when the autofocus doesn’t work properly Work with both manual focus and autofocus and learn tricks to achieve better focus in video And once you’ve got the shot, show it off!

In order to gain valuable market share in the growing consumer digital still camera and camera phone market, camera manufacturers have to continually add and improve existing features to their latest product offerings. Auto-focus (AF) is one such feature, whose aim is to enable consumers to quickly take sharply focused pictures with little or no manual intervention in adjusting the camera's focus lens. While AF has been a standard feature in digital still and cell-phone cameras, consumers often complain about their cameras' slow AF performance, which may lead to missed photographic opportunities, rendering valuable moments and events with undesired out-of-focus pictures. This dissertation addresses this critical issue to advance the state-of-the-art in the digital band-pass filter, passive AF method. This method is widely used to realize AF in the camera industry, where a focus actuator is adjusted via a search algorithm to locate the in-focus position by maximizing a sharpness measure extracted from a particular frequency band of the incoming image of the scene. There are no known systematic methods for automatically deriving the parameters such as the digital pass-bands or the search step-size increments used in existing passive AF schemes. Conventional methods require time consuming experimentation and tuning in order to arrive at a set of parameters which balance AF performance in terms of speed and accuracy ultimately causing a delay in product time-to-market. This dissertation presents a new framework for determining an optimal set of passive AF parameters, named Filter- Switching AF, providing an automatic approach to achieve superior AF performance, both in good and low lighting conditions based on the following performance measures (metrics): speed (total number of iterations), accuracy (offset from truth), power consumption (total distance moved), and user experience (in-focus position overrun). Performance results using three different prototype cameras are presented to further illustrate the real-world AF performance gains achieved by the developed approach. The major contribution of this dissertation is that the developed auto focusing approach can be successfully used by camera manufacturers in the development of the AF feature in future generations of digital still cameras and camera phones.

Auto-focus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) are key features in consumer level digital and cell-phone cameras allowing users to focus automatically and set the exposure automatically. AF provides automatic focusing in order to get sharp images with no user intervention. AE is also a key factor for automatically obtaining images with the right amount of brightness exposure. While there are many algorithms in the literature addressing the issues of AF and AE, most of these algorithms do not take into consideration speed, accuracy and cost of deployment on actual digital and cell-phone camera platforms. The first part of this dissertation involves the development and implementation of a Face-Priority AF algorithm due to the fact that the great majority of pictures taken by consumers are of human faces. In Face-priority AF, the focusing decision is made based on a detected face area in the image, thus capturing a sharp picture of the face. Although a number of face detection algorithms have appeared in the literature, their use is limited when considering their real-time software deployment on resource limited digital or cell-phone camera processors. A fast software Face-priority AF algorithm is introduced in this dissertation by combining a skin color model with a computationally efficient shape processing scheme. This algorithm is compared with a conventional algorithm in terms of speed and accuracy. A real-time implementation of this Face-priority AF is achieved on an actual digital camera platform. The second part of this dissertation involves the development and implementation of a novel AE algorithm named Adaptive AE. It is shown that this algorithm provides a more effective auto-exposure solution, in particular in poor lighting conditions. Conventional AE methods utilize the image brightness in one way or another to set the right exposure level, whereas the developed AE method uses the maximization of an information theory measure. It is shown that the developed AE solution generates more effective exposure setting in terms of contrast and brightness deviation. A real-time implementation of the Adaptive AE algorithm is also achieved on an actual digital camera platform.
