| Abstract: A system or method for designing optical systems includes generating a
mathematical model of an imaging system; tracing a plurality of light
rays from a source through the model of the imaging system in a forward
direction and a backward direction incident upon an arbitrarily defined
detector location; calculating the total light rays incident upon the
arbitrarily defined detector location in response to the plurality of
light rays; tracing a series of calibration images first through the
computational or compressive imager mathematical model; measuring an
output set of parameters based on a plurality of detected rays
calibration images at the defined detector location; storing the output
set of parameters in software, and determining an estimated system
transfer function. |
