Simulate eye functions better in photographs:(high resolution and color sensitivity in the center and sharp contrast but low color sensitivity on the periphery, change the shape of the aperture to match the shape of the eye's "aperture"). Maybe create out of focus pics from in-focus pics to simulate a larger aperture.
Goal: Write in 2 sentences what you aim to achieve
I aim to simulate certain functions of the human eye using a camera. I intend to do this by exploring aperture shapes and sizes.
Motivation: Why is this interesting and how it can be used
To gain the advantages and disadvantages of the human eye. Possible applications are in perceptual psychology research, creating creative and aesthetically pleasing viewpoints in film and photography, and eventually creating realistically "explorable" images which adapt to where your eye is focused.
Approach: What is input and output, What is the algorithm, will you design a new one or modify existing techniques, What hardware and software you will use.
I have several different ideas for the algorithm, and the approach and requirements may change over time. For now I am planning on basing my work off of the Defocus Magnification paper which simulates a very shallow depth of field, allowing a specific object to be in sharp focus and everything else extremely out of focus. This technique does not require a depth map to work.
Deliverables: Will it be a self-contained program (or sequence of steps) ? Can it run on new images ?
This mainly depends on the implementation I use. The technique described in the paper will be a self contained program running on new images.
