Definition
A digital image processing technique that combines multiple images of the same subject, each taken at a different focal plane. This results in a single image with a significantly greater depth of field than any individual source image.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Crucial for achieving highly detailed and sharp macro photographs, especially for subjects like insect eyes where a shallow depth of field is common.
Key properties or components
- Combines multiple images
- Varying focal points
- Extends depth of field
- Requires precise alignment
Contradictions or debates
None.
