The shift-invariant optics model for spatial blurring

Local blur is often modeled as a shift-invariant blurring (convolution). The Gaussian point spread function (PSF) is also a common model for a first-order approximation. It is not a good model, just a common model.

This script illustrates the (oriented) Gaussian blur applied to a point array scene.

Create scene point array

% We do the calculation for only a few wavelengths, just for
% speed.

% Create scene

Create optical image

oi = oiCreate;
oi = oiSet(oi,'wave',sceneGet(scene,'wave'));

Calculate Gaussian PSF

psfType = 'gaussian';

% We make an elongated Gaussian by setting the xyRatio to 3:1
xyRatio = 3*ones(1,nWaves);
waveSpread = wave/wave(1);
optics = siSynthetic(psfType,oi,waveSpread,xyRatio);

% Put optics back into oi and display "blurred" optical image
oi = oiSet(oi,'optics',optics);
oi = oiCompute(oi,scene);
ieAddObject(oi);
