Abstract
The disclosure relates to systems and method for processing images. The method includes selecting a predetermined reference structure, the predetermined reference structure having a known feature size/shape. The method also includes obtaining a reference image of the predetermined reference structure, and capturing a calibration image of the predetermined reference structure using an observation device. The calibration image includes a plurality of features. Additionally, the method includes identifying at least one portion of the plurality of features of the calibration image that include a feature size/shape substantially similar to the known feature size and shape of the predetermined reference structure. Finally, the method includes combining the identified portion of the plurality of features of the calibration image to form a stacked feature image, and determining a point spread function (PSF) of the observation device by comparing the obtained reference image with the stacked feature image.
