Abstract: A method for determining a point spread function of an imaging system. The method includes: for each position in a plurality of positions of a target in an optical field of the imaging system: acquiring an image of the target, referred to as the real image; obtaining a synthetic image of the target representing a digital model of the target adjusted to a zone of the real image corresponding to the target so that the model coincides with the zone; estimating the point spread function using the real image and the synthetic image; and calculating an optical transfer function by applying a Fourier transform to the point spread function; calculating an average optical transfer function from the optical transfer functions calculated for each position in the plurality of positions; and obtaining an average point spread function by applying an inverse Fourier transform to the average optical transfer function.

Abstract: A system for recording a digital hologram of an object comprises: a coherent source intended to illuminate the object and thus produce a wave diffracted by the object; and a digital sensor intended to record the digital hologram of the object. It furthermore comprises a spatial phase modulating assembly able to produce in the plane of the sensor a plurality of duplicates of the wave diffracted by the object, the duplicates being offset from each other but overlapping partially, these duplicates forming on the sensor a digital hologram of the object, this hologram being what is referred to as a self-reference hologram.
