Abstract
Systems and methods can be configured to perform operations related to digital image processing. In a general aspect, this disclosure describes systems and methods relating to processing digital images for imaging system characterization and image quality enhancement. In some implementations, a method for digital image processing includes measuring a first phase transfer function (PTF) of a first digital image and a second PTF of a second digital image. The second digital image captures a spatially shifted version of the first digital image. The first PTF and the second PTF are compared and a spatial shift of the second image to the first image is determined.
