Objectives

Contents
  • color imaging methods
    • color mosaic and spectral sensitivity
    • color interpolation (demosaicking)
    • white balance (incl. AWB)
    • color correction
  • camera lenses
    • lens types (telephoto, normal, panorama, fish eye, zoom, macro, tilt/shift, telecentric)
    • aberration and correction
    • construction types (Petzval, Anastigmate, Gauß, Triplet …)
    • inner focus, zoom, image stabilization
    • characteristics / technical data (optical sizes, aberration, vignetting, stray light)
    • modelling and measurement of lenses (MTF/resolution, distortion, vignetting, stray light)
  • camera systems and their characteristics
