    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method including: capturing a sequence of images of a scene with a camera at different focus positions according to a predetermined focus schedule that specifies a chronological sequence of focus positions of the camera, extracting image features of captured images, after having extracted and stored image features from said captured images, processing a captured image whose image features have not yet been extracted, said processing comprising extracting image features from the currently processed image and storing the extracted image features, said processing further comprising aligning image features stored from the previously captured images with the image features of the currently processed image, and generating a multi-dimensional tensor representing the image features of the processed images aligned to the image features of the currently processed image, and generating a two-dimensional depth map using the focus positions in the predetermined focus schedule and the generated multi-dimensional tensor.
