Patent ID: 8331712

Claim:
A method for designing computational optical imaging system, comprising the steps of: a step for setting a target to provide a predetermined point spread function and a threshold value; a step for designing an optical module, including generating a point spread function of optics from an optical module, comparing the similarity of the point spread function of optics and the predetermined point spread function, outputting at least one parameter of the optical module while the similarity of the point spread function of optics and the predetermined point spread function is equal to or larger than the threshold value; and optimizing the optical module and looping the step for generating a point spread function of optics from the optical module while the similarity of the point spread function of optics and the predetermined point spread function is less than the threshold value; and a step for designing an image restoration module; wherein the step for designing an optical module and the step for designing an image restoration module operate individually synchronously or in sequence.
