Abstract
An exemplary system includes at least one detector configured to provide an output based on a detected input. A plurality of input control elements control the input detected by the detector. A processor is configured to determine at least one point spread function based on a condition of the detector, a condition of the input control elements and a selected distance associated with the output. The controller is configured to generate data based on the output and the at least one point spread function, the generated data having at least one aspect
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one detector configured to provide an output based on a detected input;
- a plurality of input control elements configured to control the input detected by the detector, wherein the plurality of input control elements comprises a plurality of shutter elements configured to selectively allow the detector to detect light;
- and
- a processor configured to
- determine a plurality of point spread functions based on a condition of the detector, a condition of the input control elements and a selected distance associated with the output, wherein the plurality of point spread functions are respectively associated with respective ones of the control elements and
- generate data based on the output and the plurality of point spread functions, the generated data having at least one aspect, wherein the at least one aspect comprises a selected resolution or an enhanced resolution.
A method of enhancing a detector output, comprising the steps of:
- determining an output of at least one detector , the output being dependent on a condition of a plurality of input control elements configured to control input detected by the detector, wherein the plurality of input control elements comprises a plurality of shutter elements configured to selectively allow the detector to detect light;
- determining a plurality of point spread functions based on a condition of the input control elements and a selected distance associated with the output, the plurality of point spread functions being respectively associated with a respective one of the control elements, and
- generated data base on the output and the plurality of point spread functions, the generated data having at least one aspect, wherein the at least one aspect comprises a selected resolution or an enhance resolution.
