depth_of_field — OPTICS geometric op

使い方

Photographic depth of field: near limit, far limit and hyperfocal distance.

The classical circle-of-confusion model. With H = f^2/(N*c) + f the hyperfocal distance and s the focused subject distance:

near = s*(H - f) / (H + s - 2f) and far = s*(H - f) / (H - s).

Returns a dict: near_mm · far_mm · depth_mm (far - near) · hyperfocal_mm · far_is_infinite (a bool, so a caller never has to test for inf by accident).

far_mm is inf at or beyond the hyperfocal distance, by contract, not by accident — focus at H and everything from H/2 to infinity is acceptably sharp, which is the whole point of the hyperfocal distance. depth_mm is then inf too. far_is_infinite says so explicitly, and the identity near(H) == H/2 is exact (verified in the tests).

coc_mm is the acceptable circle of confusion in the image plane: the 35 mm convention is 0.03 mm, a machine-vision rule of thumb is 1-2 pixel pitches. It is a choice, not a property of the lens — halve it and the depth of field halves with it, which is why two depth-of-field calculators disagree.

Ground truth: f = 50, N = 8, c = 0.03 gives H = 10466.67 mm; at s = H the near limit is exactly H/2 = 5233.33 mm and the far limit is inf; the near/far limits bracket the subject for every s < H.

Raises ValueError: non-positive or non-finite focal_mm, f_number, subject_mm, coc_mm; subject_mm <= focal_mm (an object inside the front focal length cannot be imaged by this lens — see :func:thin_lens); a hyperfocal distance that is not greater than the focal length (a degenerate combination of N and c).

Paraxial, thin, and blur-circle based: it ignores diffraction, which for small apertures becomes the real resolution limit — compare with :func:mtf_diffraction before trusting an N = 22 calculation.
