Airy disks and pixel pitch on circle of confusions?
I read in this paper by Toshiba, which is in regards to optics in machine vision, that
In machine vision, which processes each pixel of an image sensor at high brightness levels, the permissible ...

Is this diagram I've drawn in regards to Depth of field correct?
This diagram is modelled after a video I saw on depth of field formula and its derivation. I have now learnt a bit more regarding Depth of focus and how it refers to "the tolerance of placement ...

Why is depth of field not always symmetrical about the object, yet depth of focus is practically symmetrical?
I have found an explanation on this, however I cannot seem to picture what the explanation is saying. From a Toshiba technical article:
Remember that the previous subsection mentioned that the depth ...

If focal length does not affect DOF, why doesn't a 25mm lens at an f-stop of 4 give me the same DOF as a 100mm on an f-stop of 16?
After having spent some time reading about DOF and the derivation of its formula, I tried calculating the theoretical DOF of different lenses. Now to my knowledge, a camera using a lens with a focal ...

How much is the depth of field of Weegee's "f/8 and be there"?
I am curious about the depth of field of the famous saying "f/8 and be there".
"f/8 and be there" is often associated with hyperfocal distance on 35mm, which means infinite depth ...

What is the "d/1500" circle of confusion formula for 35mm-format based on?
I get the concept behind CoC, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the formula. I've seen the simple approach ("d/1500"), and I've read that "1500" is based on a standard print ...

Circle of confusion for viewing images on a smartphone
I'm shooting images on my DSLR and wondering what the circle of confusion would be if it were to be viewed only on an iPhone.
As I understand it, the CoC formula can be expressed as:
(Acuity * Viewing ...

Calculating the "35mm equivalent" circle of confusion/DoF
I'm gonna introduce my concrete example, but I'd like to know how do do this calculation in general. Say I have a middle-format camera with film height 58mm and a 90mm/3.5 lens. What is the equivalent ...

Convex lens, object distance, distance, focal length, in what state is the hyperfocal state? [closed]
Suppose we have a convex lens for a middle school physics experiment, a screen, and an object being imaged, under what state will we find the hyperfocal state?
The screen is the imaged screen. It can ...

What is the acceptable CoC (Circle of Confusion) of the human eye to directly observe the object? [closed]
What is the acceptable CoC (Circle of Confusion) of the human eye to directly observe the object? The human eye has many cells and high pixels. Should the permissible circle of confusion be small?

How do I specify circle of confusion and depth of focus in practice?
This question is related to this one; I am asking a very similar one because I didn't see in the answers how to arrive to a numeric answer in practice.
Suppose I'm going to shoot a portrait and have ...

What are appropriate Circle of Confusion values for high-megapixel cameras? [duplicate]
Since the film days we have used 0.03 CoC for determining depth
of field and similar calculations. In digital terms, does this best
match with 6 or 12 or 24 or 36Mpixel full frame sensors? If this ...

Why do viewing conditions affect Depth of Field?
There's a lot of information here and elsewhere about how things such as aperture, focal length, and subject/focus distance affect Depth of Field (DoF). Most people seem to understand that side of it ...

Why do some people say to use 0.007 mm (approximate pixel size) for the CoC on a Canon 5DM2?
The 5DM2 pixel size is approximate 0.00645mm in size and so some people talk about using 0.007mm as the CoC. I think canon said once they use 0.035mm for DOF charts, full frame normal is 0.033mm, ...

How do you determine the acceptable Circle of Confusion for a particular photo?
I've noticed that several online and/or downloadable Depth of Field Calculators use different values for the acceptable CoC (Circle of Confusion) for some of the same camera models/sensor sizes. This, ...
