Abstract
We present a direct method based on the sampling theorem for computing eigenwavefronts associated with linear space-invariant imaging systems (including aberrated imaging systems). A potential application of the eigenwavefronts to inverse problems in imaging is discussed. A noise-dependent measure for the information-carrying capacity of an imaging system is also proposed.
