Abstract
A method for estimating an optics point spread function () of a lens assembly () includes (i) providing a test chart (); (ii) providing a capturing system (); (iii) capturing a test chart image () of the test chart () with the capturing system () using the lens assembly () to focus light onto the capturing system (); (iv) selecting an image area () from the test chart image (); (v) dividing the image area () into a plurality of area blocks (); and (vii) estimating an area point spread function () of the image area () using a PSF cost function that sums the fidelity terms of at least two of the area blocks ().
