This article deals with the generalization of a local depth estimation method using sharp edges and blurred edges. This Depth from Defocus method is explained and the theoretical relations are defined. Improvements concerning the generalization and the noise sensitivity on the depth estimation are developed and application conditions are exposed. Some results on synthetic images are presented to illustrate the method efficiency.
