Can Lensless Cameras Redefine Depth of Field in Photography?

This post introduces a novel approach to extending the depth of field (DOF) in lensless cameras using optimized radial coded masks. Our proposed method overcomes the limitations of previous and generic coded mask designs by employing a radial-shape-constrained optimization procedure, resulting in improved optical transfer functions while enabling extended DOF. Through simulations and prototype experiments, we demonstrate that our optimized radial mask achieves superior imaging quality compared to hand-crafted radial patterns and larger DOF than non-radial masks.
