.1 The BLUR Project Brian A. Barsky University of California, Berkeley

The BLUR Project2 Blur No, not remove it … add it ! Real optics

The BLUR Project3 Importance of Blur Real images are rarely in perfect focus Perfectly sharp computer generated images appear fake Control over what is and is not in focus is a vital photographic tool Depth of Field (DOF)

The BLUR Project6 Space of Blur Methods speed, realism, and generality Vision Realistic Rendering Real Time Speed Generalized Depth of Field

The BLUR Project7 Optometry Computational Photography Image Synthesis

The BLUR Project8 Optometry Computational Photography Image Synthesis

The BLUR Project9 Change Focus and Depth of Field Original Focus on foreground Focus on background

The BLUR Project10 Optometry Computational Photography Image Synthesis

The BLUR Project11 Focused on Tin Toy Focused on Baby f/5.6

The BLUR Project12 Generalized Depth of Field (Using Simulated Heat Diffusion) Visualization of cylindrical blur fieldResult of applying blur field to scene

The BLUR Project13 Nonlinear Distributed Raytracing Light rays travel along curved path

The BLUR Project14 Fast and Realistic Blurring Our new class of methods exploits coherence of the underlying four dimensional tensor structure of the blur operator

The BLUR Project15 Optometry Computational Photography Image Synthesis

The BLUR Project16 Optometry and Ophthalmology Simulate actual patient vision Simulate visual disorders to doctors Show potential problems with corneal surgery to candidates Simulate actual vision using pre- and post-op wavefront aberrometry data Show predicted vision by using modeled wavefront measurements
