Introduction

Welcome to the Camera Optics Calculator documentation!

This application helps you calculate and visualize camera system performance, including field of view (FOV), spatial resolution, and depth of field calculations.

What You Can Do

  • Calculate Field of View: Determine the angular and linear FOV for any camera/lens combination
  • Spatial Resolution: Calculate pixels per millimeter (PPM) and ground sample distance (GSD)
  • Depth of Field: Calculate near/far limits and total DOF for given aperture settings
  • Compare Systems: Overlay and compare multiple camera configurations
  • CLI or GUI: Use the tool via command-line or graphical interface

Built With

  • Rust - Fast, safe backend calculations via Tauri
  • TypeScript - Type-safe frontend UI
  • Vite - Modern build tooling
  • Canvas API - Real-time visualization
