Camera tools

Interactive camera optics: thin-lens models of focus, depth of field and blur, and the pinhole model of computer vision.

Thin lens

3D thin lens: focus and depth of field in 3D

The plane of sharp focus, depth of field and field of view of a camera, optionally with view camera movements.

2D thin lens: focus and depth of field, side view

The plane of sharp focus and the depth-of-field wedge in a side view, with lens tilt and the Scheimpflug rule.

Thin lens: defocus blur visualisation

How each point of a scene blurs when out of focus, from the light cone behind the lens to the blurred picture.

Calculators & tables

Depth of field, hyperfocal distance, format equivalents, reciprocity failure and development times.

Pinhole

Pinhole camera: projection

Camera projection as in computer vision: intrinsics, pose, projection matrix and lens distortion.

Pinhole cameras: epipolar geometry

Two cameras on one scene: epipolar planes, lines and epipoles, the essential and fundamental matrices.
