Given a single input image, our method enables flexible refocusing and aperture adjustment.
The heatmap overlay visualizes the synthesized defocus map.

Method
Our method decomposes single-image refocusing into two stages: (a) Defocus Deblurring and (b) Shallow Depth-of-Field Synthesis.
Given a blurry input image Iin, we optionally apply a pre-deblurring to obtain a conservative estimate Isyn,
then feed both Iin and Isyn into DeblurNet to recover a high-quality all-in-focus image Iaif.
In the second stage, BokehNet takes the all-in-focus image Iaif, the defocus map Ddef,
and optionally a specific aperture shape as inputs to synthesize the refocused output.

Visual Comparison for BokehNet Training Ablation
Training solely on synthetic data tends to result in an incorrect depth scale, leading to excessive bokeh
strength and noticeable artifacts along object boundaries.

Failure Cases
For severely blurred inputs, the model may hallucinate incorrect details (e.g., reconstructing "Jewelry shop"
as "Temnlry shop").
