Imaging Optics
摘要
This chapter provides an introduction to imaging optics. We start from the pinhole model; from its pros and cons, we motivate a lens-based imaging system. We discuss important artifacts, a.k.a., aberrations, introduced by lenses that significantly impact the imaging quality. Finally, we conclude with a computational model for modeling the image formation process carried out by optics. The model provides a first-order approximation of the imaging quality and is widely used in various fields of visual computing.
