Humanoid-Eye Imaging System Model with Ability of Resolving Power Computing

This paper proposes an innovative imaging system model for human eyes with resolving power calculation, which is feasible in practice and stands on solid Physical background. The model, humanoid-eye imaging system (HIS), is constructed synthesizing an imaging component model and a photo-sensing component model based on relevant parts of human eyes. HIS integrates core features and working mechanism of human eyes and can also be regarded as simulation of various real digital imaging systems. According to criteria derived from wave optics and the theory of receptors, point resolving power for HIS is defined and its calculations are deduced as functions of specified parameters of HIS and variables of object points observed by HIS. Experiment with a camera as the application of HIS show that HIS is applicable and its resolving power calculation is precise in reality. Our work supply a novel method for the first time to efficiently connect real observing conditions with computer simulation for fields related to 3D meshes management.
