Extended Depth of Field

Extended depth of field is an image-processing method to obtain in focus microscopic images of 3D objects and organisms. We freely provide a software to produce this in-focus image and the corresponding height map from a stack of images taken along the optical axis. Read the full information.

Application case: study of the imapact of laser welding

The images are courtesy of Thomas Sidler, EPFL, Lausanne.

The whole stack is composed of 13 color images of 1024x768 pixels.

The huge dataset of original images can be provided on request.
