ENGINEERS AT MIT & UMASS LOWELL HAVE CREATED A COMPLETELY FLAT 1MM THICK FISHEYE LENS

 https://www.diyphotography.net/engineers-at-mit-umass-lowell-have-created-a-completely-flat-1mm-thick-fisheye-lens/

Its design is a type of “metalens” – a wafer-thin material with microscopic features to manipulate light in a way that traditional optics don’t. And it lets the lens shoot a 180° field of view with perfect sharpness.

The lens consists of just a single element, which is a 1 millimetre thick piece of glass. On one side it’s covered with tiny structures that scatter light in a very specific way so as to produce panoramic images in the same way that traditional fisheye lenses do.

Why perceptual evaluation is essential for image quality testing

 https://www.dxomark.com/why-perceptual-evaluation-is-essential-for-image-quality-testing/


DxO publish an article about their perceptual evaluation of image quality.

Some item I have different opinion. for ex, 

Exposure


this is more like DR problem to me not necessary exposure problem.

Focus

Use if image is not blur of different system to judge focus. Some factor need to consider, for ex, Pixel of density, ISP Sharpen, denoise etc.
