Is wavefront coding an alternative to adaptive optics for retinal imaging?

摘要

In this work we explore the use of the wavefront coding technique for obtaining high resolution images of the retina of human eyes. The numerical analysis pretends to show the robustness of the technique under changes in pupil diameter and wavefront shape including intersubject and intrasubject variability, using always the same restoration filter or image decoder. The results show that it is possible to obtain high resolution images under different ocular aberrations and pupil diameters with the same decoder, opening the possibility of real time high resolution images with this low-cost and robust technique.
