The number and type of imaging systems has grown enormously over the last several decades; these systems are an essential component in mobile communication, medicine, automotive and drone applications.
Imaging systems are also increasingly used with deep learning systems that require large amounts of training data. For these reasons software prototyping has become an essential tool for the design, evaluation and training of modern image systems. I will describe three closely related open-source and freely available image systems engineering toolboxes, ISETCam, ISETBio, and ISET3d that are designed to support design and evaluation of image systems. The presentation will include several examples of how we model the three-dimensional scene spectral radiance, retinal encoding (physiological optics and cone sampling), and image systems hardware (multi-element lenses, image sensors). We are working with the goal of building image systems simulation infrastructure that can speed the development of new systems as academia and industry rise to meet many new opportunities.
