Lens Kernels

These are used by Bob Roesler's LensKernelFFT gizmo
The idea here was to make some extremely high dynamic range images, with a still camera, in a dark environment, of a backlit pinhole. The resulting image(s) would thereby record the "signature" of how light is scattered within the optical system. By using the resulting image as a convolution kernel, a real optical quality could be applied to cg imagery.

If you open these in Nuke, you'll notice several bright pixels in the center of a very dark frame. However, if you raise the brightness of the image, you'll see that the "black" areas of the image actually have non-zero values, and as you bring the brightness up considerably, the values extend into  a fairly large area of the frame. What this means, in terms of using the images as convolution kernels, is that a tiny amount of the input pixel's energy is dispersed around a rather large portion of the frame. Under the circumstances of normal image values, the result is a slight softening of the image. However, in the case of very bright specular reflections, the apparent "spread" is larger; and as the input pixel values become greater and greater, the spread does, as well.
