Abstract: | A method for optimizing the strength of a parametric phase mask for a wavefront coding imaging system is presented. The method is based on an optimization process that minimizes a proposed merit function. The goal is to achieve modulation transfer function invariance while quantitatively maintaining final image fidelity. A parametric filter that copes with the noise present in the captured images is used to obtain the final images, and this filter is optimized. The whole process results in optimum phase mask strength and optimal parameters for the restoration filter. The results for a particular optical system are presented and tested experimentally in the laboratory. The experimental results show good agreement with the simulations, indicating that the procedure is useful. |
