Increasing the depth of field of imaging systems with numerically optimized phase masks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The depth of field of optical systems can be extended with a phase mask placed in the pupil. We propose to design this phase mask through a heuristic numerical optimization. We describe two different criteria to illustrate the technique. We present the obtained phase profiles and we show that they have good properties regarding the extension of the depth of field.

Real-time increase in depth of field of an uncooled thermal camera using several phase-mask technologies.
Imaging systems that combine a phase mask in the pupil and digital postprocessing may have better performance than conventional ones. We have built such a system to enhance the depth of field of an uncooled thermal camera. The phase masks are binary, their structures are optimized thanks to an image quality criterion, and they have been realized with three different technologies that give equiv...
متن کاملComparison of depth-of-focus-enhancing pupil masks based on a signal-to-noise-ratio criterion after deconvolution.
We consider optimization of hybrid imaging systems including a pupil mask for enhancing the depth of field and a digital deconvolution step. In a previous paper [Opt. Lett. 34, 2970 (2009)] we proposed an optimization criterion based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the restored image. We use this criterion in order to optimize different families of phase or amplitude masks and to compare them, ...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...

Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation in under-balanced drilling operation is the main objective of this study. Gas-liquid two-phase flow model considering thermal interaction with the formation is used to numerically simulate a well with real dimensions. In the present study, the continuity, momentum, and energy equations are devel...
متن کاملOptimization of hybrid imaging systems including digital deconvolution in the presence of noise
In a classical imaging system, the object is imaged on a sensor by an optical system which should provide an image as good as possible. A post processing step can then be implemented, but the optimization of the optics and the post processing is done separately. In an hybrid imaging system, the optimization of the optics and the post-processing step is performed jointly, and the post processing...
