Abstract

Method and system for wavefront reconstruction from an image plane intensity distribution profile. An imaging device may be an agent for producing the image plane intensity distribution profile, for example, a point spread function. In one embodiment, the method and system include defining a feature vector from the point spread function, and employing an adaptive computational architecture for associating the feature vector with at least one identifying characteristic of the imaging device, e.g., such as an amount of astigmatism.
