Lens / Image Sensor / Image Engine / Image Processing Digital Image Reproduction
Overview
For a film camera, the lens is a major factor in determining image quality. For a digital camera, however, a well-balanced design is required as the image quality depends on several factors in addition to the lens, such as the image sensor, the image engine (imaging algorithm) that constitutes an image and the image processing. Combining lens design with digital processing, this case presents a complete image reproduction solution that covers the lens, image sensor and the image engine.
I want to use a simulation to examine motor output characteristics, such as output torque and rotational speed.
I want to perform a motor drive simulation that takes into account the shape and property of motors.
I want to use a simple simulation model that can be used for control design.
Solution
Simulation model
Below is an overview of the simulation. The optical system consists of two phases. The main lens system forms an image, and the microlens system focuses the light on the image sensor. CODE V is used for the simulation. The point spread function (PSF), which forms the light intensity distribution on the image sensor, is calculated for each RGB. On MATLAB, the bayer pattern in the color filter is randomly selected and the digital signal processing is implemented in the image engine to reproduce the image.
