Project mention: How to generate realistic PSFs for camera lenses? | /r/Optics | 2023-09-07

My current concept is to just combine zernike polynomials with a random factor and calculate the PSF from that, which can be somewhat easily be done with the prysm library. These PSFs can then be convolved with circular and gaussian kernels for modelling additional defocus and accounting for other stuff like the AA filter. Then I'd add chromatic aberration by offseting/scaling the PSFs for each channel. Some generated kernels already look pretty good when comparing them to stars in astrophotography images, but others not so much.
