Patent ID: 8194136

Claim:
A method of processing optical lens data using a computer system, the method comprising: receiving over a network at the computer system a user request for lens performance data for a first lens from a user terminal; providing for display on the user terminal an interactive user interface; accessing from computer readable memory, via the computer system, lens data corresponding to the user request, wherein the lens data includes test data obtained via a first digital image frame captured using a first camera body and a first lens with a first focal length using a first aperture setting, and where the lens data includes sharpness data and chromatic aberration data; transmitting the lens data to the interactive user interface, wherein the interactive user interface is configured to: display an identification of the first camera body; display an identification of the first lens; display the first focal length setting used to capture the image; display the first aperture setting used to capture the image; at least partly based on the lens data, generate color gradient plot data for a color gradient plot by mapping sharpness to color, wherein a first color corresponds to a first sharpness quality, a second color corresponds to a second sharpness quality, and a third color corresponds to a third sharpness quality; generate sharpness graph data for a sharpness graph corresponding to at least one portion of the first digital image frame; generate chromatic aberration graph data for a chromatic aberration graph corresponding to at least one portion of the first digital image frame; display the color gradient plot for the first lens; display the sharpness graph for the first lens; display the chromatic aberration graph for the first lens.
