Description
Summary:Alvarez lenses are known for their ability to achieve a broad range of optical power adjustment by utilizing complementary freeform surfaces. However, these lenses suffer from optical aberrations, which restrict their potential applications. To address this issue, we propose a field of view (FOV) attention image restoration model for continuous zooming. In order to simulate the degradation of optical zooming systems based on Alvarez lenses (OZA), a baseline OZA is designed where the polynomial for the Alvarez lenses consists of only three coefficients. By computing spatially varying point spread functions (PSFs), we simulate the degraded images of multiple zoom configurations and conduct restoration experiments. The results demonstrate that our approach surpasses the compared methods in the restoration of degraded images across various zoom configurations while also exhibiting strong generalization capabilities under untrained configurations.
