    Abstract
    Computational imaging systems algorithmically post-process acquisition images either to reveal physical quantities of interest or to increase image quality, e.g., deblurring. Designing a computational imaging system requires co-design of optics and algorithms, and recently Deep Lens systems have been proposed in which both components are end-to-end designed using data-driven end-to-end training. However, progress on this exciting concept has so far been hampered by the lack of differentiable forward simulations for complex optical design spaces. Here, we introduce dO (DiffOptics) to provide derivative insights into the design pipeline to chain variable parameters and their gradients to an error metric through differential ray tracing. However, straightforward back-propagation of many millions of rays requires unaffordable device memory, and is not resolved by prior works. dO alleviates this issue using two customized memory-efficient techniques: differentiable ray surface intersection and adjoint back-propagation. Broad application examples demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of dO, including classical lens designs in asphere, double-Gauss, and freeform, reverse engineering for metrology, and joint designs of optics-network in computational imaging applications. We believe dO enables a radically new approach to computational imaging system designs and relevant research domains.

    Export search results

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
