Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes receiving a plurality of depth values corresponding to a plurality of areas depicted in an image captured by an image sensor. the method also includes generating a depth histogram categorizing each depth value of the plurality of depth values into a depth value range of a plurality of depth value ranges. the method further includes determining an autofocus distance based on the depth histogram. the method additionally includes causing the image sensor to capture an image based on the autofocus distance.
