Bases:
AbstractImagingSensorAn arbitrary imaging sensor described by a pixel grid and a light-sensitive material.
Attributes
The light-sensitive aperture of the sensor.
The shape of the physical substrate supporting the sensor.
The names of the logical axes corresponding to the rows and columns of the pixel grid.
A flag controlling whether this sensor is the field stop for the system.
A flag controlling whether this sensor is the pupil stop for the system.
If this surface is pupil stop or the field stop, return
True.Extra keyword arguments to pass to
plot()A model of the light-sensitive material composing this sensor.
The human-readable name of this sensor.
The number of pixels along each axis of the sensor.
The optional ruling profile of this surface.
The sag profile of this surface.
The array shape of this object.
The exposure time of the sensor.
The position and orientation of the sensor in the global coordinate system.

Methods
__init__([name, width_pixel, axis_pixel, ...])plot([ax, transformation, components])Plot the selected components onto the given axes.
propagate_rays(rays)Refract, reflect, and/or diffract the given rays off of this surface
readout(rays, wavelength[, timedelta, axis, ...])Given a set of rays incident on the sensor surface, where each ray represents an expected number of photons per unit time, simulate the number of electrons that would be measured by the sensor.
to_dxf(file, unit[, transformation])to_string([prefix])Public-facing version of the
__repr__method that allows for defining a prefix string, which can be used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the beginning of each line of the result.Inheritance Diagram

- plot(ax=None, transformation=None, components=None, **kwargs)#
Plot the selected components onto the given axes.
- Parameters:
ax (None | Axes | ScalarArray[ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[_ScalarT]]]) – The matplotlib axes to plot onto
transformation (None | AbstractTransformation) – Any extra transformations to apply to the coordinate system before plotting
components (None | tuple[str, ...]) – Which 3d components to plot, helpful if plotting in 2d.
kwargs – Additional keyword arguments that will be passed along to
named_arrays.plt.plot()
- Return type:
- propagate_rays(rays)#
Refract, reflect, and/or diffract the given rays off of this surface
- Parameters:
rays (RayVectorArray) – a set of input rays that will interact with this surface
- Return type:
- readout(rays, wavelength, timedelta=None, axis=None, where=True, noise=True)#
Given a set of rays incident on the sensor surface, where each ray represents an expected number of photons per unit time, simulate the number of electrons that would be measured by the sensor.
- Parameters:
rays (RayVectorArray) – A set of incident rays in local coordinates to measure.
wavelength (AbstractScalar) – The edges of the wavelength bins to sample.
timedelta (None | Quantity | AbstractScalar) – The exposure time of the measurement. If
None(the default), the value intimedelta_exposurewill be used.axis (None | str | Sequence[str]) – The logical axes along which to collect photons.
where (bool | AbstractScalar) – A boolean mask used to indicate which photons should be considered when calculating the signal measured by the sensor.
noise (bool) – Whether to add noise to the result
