They are not equivalent to human optics because their lens design defines how the image is formed. Therefore, if cameras are to be used in research purposes, it is important to know how to minimize the effect of the lens system on the research data. The object of this work is to help to understand the process of characterizing a camera. Under special examination is a pupillometric camera, hence a camera used for providing data about the autonomous nervous system by recording pupil size and dynamics. The experimental part of the paper gives a practical example of characterizing such pupillometric camera very sensitive to aberrations and noise and discusses possible ways to improve the image quality. That, together with the discussion, forms the core of the paper and raises questions for experiments to come. The work is meant for people not very familiar with optics or pupillometry. It takes a simple approach to the optics and imaging in Chapter 2. Chapter 3, for one, gives more insight to metrology with a review of more specific lens design used in machine vision and measurement science applications.

In practice there are always several lenses (basic types illustrated in Figure 1 [1] ) in ‘the lens’ that can be bought from a store and therefore in this work the word lens refers to the lens system. Lenses can be categorized roughly to wide-angle and telephoto lenses where wide-angles have larger angle of view (with smaller focal length) and telephoto lenses have smaller angle of view (with larger focal length). Lenses can either have a fixed focal length (prime lenses) or it can be changed for example from wide-angle to telephoto when Figure 1. Lenses classified by the curvature of the they are commonly referred as zoom lenses. two optical surfaces [1].. Lenses could be characterized also according to their lens design and the number of elements but that kind of characterization is beyond the scope of this work. Figure 2 demonstrates the typical structure of a lens for commercial digital cameras. The lens is mounted on the camera using specific bayonet mounts [2 ] which are poorly intercompatible in commercial cameras even though there exist adapters to fit different bayonets to a given camera. In machine vision cameras typically there are three bayonet types [3]: 1) CS-mount, 2) C- mount, and 3) M12x0.5

In paraxial optics, these surfaces are planes, normal to the optical axis. The point where the plane intersects the optical axis is the cardinal point corresponding to that cardinal plane. The six special planes are: First Focal Plane Second Focal Plane First Principle Plane Second Principle Plane First Nodal Plane Second Nodal Plane Once we know the location of these special planes, relative to the physical location of the lenses in the system, we can describe all of the paraxial imaging properties of the system.

  • Orbs in Pictures of the Sun
    Orbs in pictures of the sun Continue The backscatter of the camera's flash of motes of dust causes unfocused orb-shaped photographic artifacts. In photography, the backscatter (also called near-camera reflection[1]) is an optical phenomenon that results in typically circular artifacts on an image, due to the camera's flash reflected from unfocused motes of dust, water droplets, or other particles in the air or water. It is especially common with modern compact and ultra-compact digital cameras. [3] [3] A hypothetical underwater instance with two conditions in which circular photographic artifacts are probable (A) and unlikely (B), depending on whether the aspect of particles facing the lens directly reflects the flash, as shown. Elements do not appear to scale. Caused by the backscatter of light of unfocused particles, these artifacts are also sometimes referred to as orbs, citing a common paranormal claim. Some appear with tracks, suggesting movement. [4] Cause circular unfocused visual artifacts caused by raindrops. Additional information: Light scattering of particles and Defocus-aberration Backscatter usually occurs in low light scenes when the camera flash is used. Cases include night time and underwater photography, when a bright light source and reflective unfocused particles are close to the camera. [1] Light appears much brighter much near the source due to the inverse-square law, which says light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. [5] The artifact may be the result of backscatter or retroreflection of the light from airborne solid particles, such as dust or pollen, or liquid droplets, especially rain or fog.

  • The Essential A-Z of Photography Slang Artifact a Loose Term To
    The essential A-Z of photography slang Artifact A loose term to describe an element that degrades picture quality. Anything from the blockiness that can occur when pictures are heavily compressed as JPEGs, to the distortion to pictures that occurs with heavy manipulation – even the effect you see with lens flare. ATGNI All The Gear, No Idea. A photographer who has lots of camera equipment but doesn’t know what half of it does. A bit of an Uncle Bob, in fact. BIF A rare acronym that you’ll only see floating around bird photography forums (download our free bird photography cheat sheet). There’s a clue right there: BIF stands for Bird in Flight, and is usually brought up during lengthy technical discussions about autofocus point selection and focus modes. Bigma The Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 lens earned the nickname ‘Bigma’ thanks to its considerable 10x zoom range and considerable proportions. Blown out Bright areas in a photo that are overexposed are said to be blown out. They won’t hold any detail and will be bleached white. Bokeh Pronounced ‘boh-kay’, this term is derived from the Japanese word for ‘blur’ and is used to describe the aesthetic quality of the blur in out- of-focus areas of a picture. The faster the lens, and the more aperture blades it has, the smoother the blur tends to be. Chimping The act of looking at pictures on the back of the camera as soon as you’ve taken them, usually accompanied by lots of ‘ooh-ooh-oohing’, hence the name.

  • What Are Orbs?
    What are Orbs? by Melissa Tanner, TnT Paranormal Investigators LLC A much heated debate in paranormal field surrounds orbs. The debate is around: What are they? Are they spirits? Are the just dust or air particles? Are they bugs? All of the above. Most experts agree the orbs we see in photographs are airborne particles and/or bugs. A true paranormal orb will be able to be seen with the naked eye. Those types of orbs are believed to be balls of energy. The source of that energy is unknown. The following information was obtained from Wikipedia: Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb_(optics) A single orb in the center of the photo, at the person's knee level The term orb describes unexpected, typically circular artifacts that occur in flash photography — sometimes with trails indicating motion — especially common with modern compact and ultra- compact digital cameras. Orbs are also sometimes called backscatter, orb backscatter, or near-camera reflection. Orb artifacts are captured during low-light instances where the camera's flash is implemented, such as at night or underwater. The artifacts are especially common with compact or ultra- compact cameras, where the short distance between the lens and the built-in flash decreases the angle of light reflection to the lens, directly illuminating the aspect of the particles facing the lens and increasing the camera's ability to capture the light reflected off normally sub-visible particles.[1] The orb artifact can result from retroreflection of light off solid particles (e.g., dust, pollen), liquid particles (water droplets, especially rain) or other foreign material within the camera lens.[1] The image artifacts usually appear as either white or semi-transparent circles, though may also occur with whole or partial color spectrums, purple fringing or other chromatic aberration.

    Y. Sekman, X. Lu, H. Gross Friedrich Schiller University Jena Institute of Applied Physics Albert-Einstein-Str 15 07745 Jena Lens Design I – Seminar 1 Exercise 1-1: Stair-mirror-setup (Homework) Setup a system with a stair mirror pair, which decenters an incoming collimated ray bundle with 10 mm diameter by 40 mm in the -y direction. The wavelength of the beam is = 632.8 nm. After this pair of mirrors, a decentered main objective lens with focal length f = 200 mm made of BK7 is located 25 mm below the optical axis and focusses the beam. a) Setup the system b) Generate layout drawings in 2D and in 3D. c) Calculate the beam cross section on the second mirror, what is the size of the pattern? d) Determine the optimal final sensor plane location. Calculate the spot of the focused beam. Discuss the shape of this pattern. Exercise 1-2: Symmetrical 4f-system Setup a telecentric 4f-imaging system with two identical plano-convex lenses made of BK7 with thickness d = 10 mm and approximate focal lengths f = 100 mm. The wavelength of the system is = 546.07 nm and the numerical aperture in the object space is NA = 0.2. The object has a diameter of 10 mm. a) If the setup is perfectly symmetrical, determine the layout and the spot diagram of the system. b) Optimize the image location. Why is the spot size improved? c) If the starting aperture is decreased, the system becomes more and more close to diffraction limited. What is the value of the NA to get a diffraction limited system on axis? Take in mind here, that a re-focussing might be necessary due to the lowered spherical aberrations, which depends on the aperture.

Fix the wavelength to = 546.07 nm. a) Add a thin mensicus shaped lens behind the system with an arteficial refractive index of n = 2 to enlarge the numerical aperture by a factor of 2 without introducing spherical aberration. To achieve this, the surfaces must be aplanatic and concentric. b) Now reduce the numerical aperture to a diameter of 2 mm and set a folding mirror in the front focal plane of the system. The incoming beam should be come from below and is deflected to the right side. c) Generate a multi-configuration system for a scan system by rotating the mirror. The first coordinate break angle can take the values -50°, -47.5°, -45°, -42.5° and -40°. The second coordinate break should be defined by a pick up with a resulting bending angle of the system axis of -90°. d) The chief ray of the scan system is telecentric in the paraxial approximation. Due to the residual aberrations of the system, there is a deviation from the telecentricity in the real system. Show this by a correponding universal plot. e) Show the variation of the spot in the image plane by using the slider.
