CAMERA PERFORMANCE SIMULATION

摘要

A method for designing a camera (20), which includes objective optics (22) for forming an image on an electronic image sensor (24) and a digital filter (26) for filtering an output of the image sensor. The method includes defining a design of the objective optics and determining coefficients of the digital filter. An input image is processed responsively to the design of the objective optics and the coefficients of the digital filter so as to generate an output image that simulates operation of the camera. The output image is displayed for evaluation by a designer of the camera.
