Abstract: The invention refers to the methods and means of conversion of electromagnetic radiation (mainly belonging to the optical range) with the purpose of forming of objects' images (mainly of spatially extended ones) within incoherent light. In an Optical System (OS) the following procedures are being performed: pre-defined distortion of optical motion of rays by means of Amplitude-Phase Mask (APM); optical-electronic conversion of distorted image of object 6 and deduction of the distortions inserted by the APM and by OS. Deduction of distortions is arranged by means of accorded spatial filtration of the distorted image. Distortion of optical motion of rays is accomplished in the direction that is close to the orthogonal one in regards to the distortions brought in by defocusing and by aberrations of the OS. In the meanwhile, the possibility to receive the function of distortions that possesses rotary symmetry is being secured.
