Abstract
A lens flare generation method and apparatus simulates lens flare effects through paraxial approximation-based linear approximation to generate a lens flare utilizing physical characteristics of a lens system while generating a lens flare at high speed. A non-linear effect may be added to a linear pattern-based lens flare effect to generate an actual lens flare reflecting most of physical characteristics generated from the lens system. A pre-recorded non-linear pattern may be used.
