Non-iterative method and system for phase retrieval
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing information for an optical system, the method comprising:
- capturing a first focused image of a first object at a first focal point;
capturing a plurality of unfocused images of the first object at a plurality of defocus points having a plurality of distances from the first focal point respectively;
processing at least information associated with the first focused image and information associated with the plurality of unfocused images; and
determining a wavefront error using the processing based upon at least the information associated with the first focused image and the information associated with the plurality of unfocused images;
whereupon the processing is free from an iterative process.

Abstract
Non-iterative techniques for phase retrieval for estimating errors of an optical system. A method for processing information for an optical system may include capturing a focused image of an object at a focal point (110), capturing a plurality of unfocused images of the object at a plurality of defocus points respectively (110), processing at least information associated with the focused image and the plurality of unfocused images (120 and 130), and determining a wavefront error without an iterative process (140). In addition, a non-iterative system (400) capable of processing image information is also provided.
