  • Publication number: 20240102941
    Abstract: Methods and systems for calibrating simulated measurement signals generated by a parametric measurement model are described herein. Regression on real measurement signals is performed using a parametric model. The residual fitting error between the real measurement signals and simulated measurement signals generated by the parametric model characterizes the error of the parametric model at each set of estimated values of the one or more floating parameters. Simulated measurement signals are generated by the parametric model at specified values of the floating parameters. A residual fitting error associated with the simulated measurement signals generated at the specified values of the floating parameters is derived from the residual fitting errors calculated by the regression on the real measurement signals. The simulated measurement signals are calibrated by adding the residual fitting error to the uncalibrated, simulated measurement signals.

  • Patent number: 11372202
    Abstract: Provided is a supporting element having an object-side mechanical surface, an image-side mechanical surface, an inner-side connecting surface having a first and a second plane inner walls extending from at least one of the object-side and the image-side mechanical surfaces, and an outer-side connecting surface having a first and a second outer cutting surfaces respectively adjacent to the first and the second plane inner walls. The supporting element satisfies the following conditional expression. 4?R/SD?30. R represents half of a distance between the first and the second outer cutting surfaces. SD represents a smaller one of a first and a second distances, the former being the minimum distance between the first outer cutting surface and the first plane inner wall, the latter being the minimum distance between the second outer cutting surface and the second plane inner wall. A portable optical imaging lens is also provided.
