Intro. of optics design software
What is ideal lens?
The image is similar to the object on a plane
perpendicular to the optical axis
No distortion
No blur
Pinhole camera
Common model of ideal lens in Computer
Vision area
Amount of the incoming light is very limited
Diffraction limit
Artifacts of actual lens
h
Failure of the similarity of the image
Geometric degradation (aberration)
• Distortion
• Blur
aberration
Photometric degradation (vignetting)
• Non-uniform sensitivity
Definition of focal length
Definition of focal length must be constant to
Aperture settings
aberration
Elements of the optics
Optical system
Typically 3-10 elements, 20 for zoom
For aberration correction, + function
Aperture
For the trade-off of the both amount of
light and defocus
Nikkor
Example of a zoom lens
Combination of various types of glasses,
shape of the surfaces
Why we need many elements?
For correcting monochromatic aberration
Thin lens with high index glass
Thick lens with low index glass
There are some differences
for aberration even if
the focal length is same
For correcting chromatic aberration
White light

Focal length
Intersection of incoming
and exiting light
Curve of intersection
Focal length is determined by the limit of
very small ray height.
Paraxial optics : small ray height and angle
Aperture and F no.
Aperture
Aperture is not an actual diameter of diaphragm,
but the diameter of incoming light
F no = focal length / aperture diameter
Smaller F no, higher speed lens
Twice F no = quarter incoming light

Practice (1)
Lens with focal length 50mm.
If the lens is moved 5mm forward,
how is the focused distance?
Practice (1) answer
1/50 = 1/b + 1/55
For usual camera, object distance is
defined from the film to the object.
b = 550 (mm)
Object distance is 550 + 55 = 605mm
If we can not ignore the distance
between two principal points, we must
add it.
Practice(2)
If we want to focus the 10mm lens to
the object with distance 1m, how is
the lens movement forward?
If the focal length is 20mm, how?
Practice (2) answer
Focal length is much smaller than the
object distance, so let us ignore it.
1/10 = 1/1000 + 1/a a = 10.101
• Therefore, the lens motion is 0.101mm
1/20 = 1/1000 + 1/a a = 20.408
• Therefore 0.408mm
Lens motion is proportional to the
square of focal length
Practice (3)
If the photo is life size (M=1), how is
the lens movement forward?
Practice (3) answer
1/f = 1/b + 1/a, a=b so a = b = 2f
Lens movement is as same as the
focal length
The distance from the object to the
film is 4 times as long as of focal
length
This is the minimum distance between
film and the object
