Introduction
Accurate simulation of imaging systems is crucial for enabling cost-effective and rapid design processes and training machine learning algorithms. Such simulation tools typically incorporate the full imaging pipeline, including the scene, camera optics, and image sensor. However, the proprietary nature of lens designs often leads manufacturers to withhold specific details, posing a challenge for accurate simulation. To address this challenge, Goossens et al. (2022) propose a solution that leverages Zemax black-box lens models. At the core of this method is the Ray Transfer Function (RTF), which characterizes how the position and angle of a ray entering a lens determine its exit position and angle, providing a practical approach to lens modeling without requiring access to proprietary design information.
