Abstract

In this project, the objective is to expand an open-source hardware and software toolkit known as LenslessPiCam, which is designed for lensless imaging. Lensless imaging relies on an optical element that serves as a substitute for a conventional lens, typically a thin mask. Although various methods for creating these masks exist, there is currently no standardized approach that ensures both design compatibility and reproducibility. The aim of this project is to incorporate mask-design tools into LenslessPiCam, enhancing its relevance to the broader research community. Additionally, our methodology is influenced by the FAIR principles and utilizes readily available resources. This approach will enable LenslessPiCam to remain an affordable and high-performing toolkit for lensless imaging, catering to educators, hobbyists, and researchers.
