Adding an new image to the image simulation

Hello,

I'm trying to simulate the image quality of a 3D printed optical lens, so I experimentally used a USAF 1951 test target as an object. To compare the results I'm trying to implement this optical system in sequential mode in zemax, so I needed the same object that is the USAF-Target image, but I don't know how to add an external image in zemax.


Could someone tell me if there is a way to add an external image for image simulation?


Thank you very much in advance!

 Hi,

You may simply store the intended image file in the <images> folder which is defined in Setup...Project Preferences. Once there, use Analyze...Extended Scene Analysis...Image Simulation. This feature simulates the formation of images by convolving a source bitmap file with an array of Point Spread Functions. The image file may be in BMP, JPG, PNG, IMA, or BIM file formats. (for more information see Help > The Analyze Tab (sequential ui mode) > Image Quality Group > Extended Scene Analysis > Image Simulation.
