Calculating with the ray trace model (synthetic)

The ray trace optics model is the most complex of the ISET optics models. It applies a space-varying and wavelength dependent point spread functions (svPSF). These can be created either by calculating from a Zemax file, or as we do here, a ray trace synthetic model.

The space-varying PSFs are computed and shown here.

Alternatively, you can run an oiCompute in the ray trace mode

% In this case, the svPSF structure will be stored in the oi. You
% can get the shift variant PSFs that were computed and stored
% this way.
scene = sceneCreate('point array',384);

Create the space-varying optics

oi = oiCreate;
rtOptics = []; spreadLimits = [1 5]; xyRatio = 1.6;
rtOptics = rtSynthetic(oi,rtOptics,spreadLimits,xyRatio);
oi = oiSet(oi,'optics',rtOptics);

Compute the irradiance and space-varying PSF

oi    = oiCompute(oi,scene);
oiWindow(oi);
