Abstract :
Image merging is a process of obtaining one image from multiple. The resulting image carries more information about the photographed scene, than each of the originals. Such an image can be more useful when we deal with human or image processing system. Algorithms that performed this task are used in a wide applying in practical: computer vision, robotics, medicine, forensics, etc. In general, the problem of limited depth of field optical relieving device is solved. The article outlines the general provisions forming multi- focus mages, shows the classification of existing algorithms. In addition, the image distortion process of the blurring formation outside the focal plane was examined. The authors propose an algorithm of forming multi-focus images based on cellular automata. The results of the algorithm implementation are described in this article. Moreover, it is considered popular methods for assessing the quality of the images from different view points.
