Imaging calculators
The quick calculations we do every day when we specify a camera system — free to use, with the formulas spelled out. Every result can be shared as a link.
-
Data rate & bandwidth calculator
Bandwidth, frame size and storage of a camera stream, checked against USB, GigE, CoaXPress and MIPI.
Open calculator → -
Field of view & focal length calculator
Focal length, working distance or object field from the other two, with the angle of view.
Open calculator → -
Pixels on target & spatial resolution calculator
mm per pixel, pixels across your smallest feature, and the resolution the task needs.
Open calculator → -
Optical resolution & Airy disc calculator
Diffraction spot size vs. pixel size, and the f-number where diffraction starts to cost sharpness.
Open calculator → -
Lens image circle vs. sensor size calculator
Does the image circle cover the sensor? Vignetting, usable crop in pixels, and the resolution you really get.
Open calculator → -
Depth of field & hyperfocal distance calculator
Near/far limits, total depth of field and hyperfocal distance, with sharpness defined in pixels.
Open calculator → -
Motion blur & exposure time calculator
Blur in pixels for moving objects, maximum exposure time, and the frame rate for gapless coverage.
