Abstract:
A method of determining at least two motion values of an object moving axially in a scene. A first and second image of the object in the scene is captured with an image capture device. The object is axially displaced in the scene between the captured images with respect to a sensor plane of the image capture device. A variation in blur between the first and second captured images is determined. A scale change of the object between the first and second captured images is determined. Using the determined scale change and variation in blur, at least two motion values of the object in the scene are determined. The motion values identify the depths of the object in the first and second captured images and axial motion of the object in the scene.
