Depth-Varied Filters

Apply filters to image using depth map to vary intensity.

*See example at http://bransorem.github.io/depth-varied-filters/

Requirements

• Python 2.7+
• OpenCV 2.4+ with Python support
• Numpy

Inspiration

This originated as a project for the Computational Photography Spring '15 at Georgia Tech. I was inspired by the Google Camera for Android Lens Blur feature and thought: "Blur is pretty cool. What would other filters look like?"

Run

$> python main.py INPUT.JPG DEPTHMAP.JPG LAYERS

LAYERS is optional (default=15). LAYERS must be an integer.

Example:

$> python main.py Flowers-alternative.jpg Flowers-depthmap.jpg 20

^ The flower images used are from: Depthy.me [github]

Create Your Own

You can use Google Camera Lens Blur to create an image and then pull out the source image and depth map using depthy.me.

Future Ideas

• apply multiple filters
• smooth blending between layers (Gaussian blending)
• add plane selector for z-origin
• additional filters
