Source Models

The source model is entirely separate from the lens and simulation models. It implements a single function getImage() which returns the source image as an OpenCV Mat object.

The Source class is the superclass of all source modesls. The constructor takes an integer argument $\sigma$, giving the size which is interpreted somewhat differently for the different subclasses. The subclasses may take additional parameters to the constructor, in addition to the integer size.

• SphericalSource takes $\sigma$ which is the standard deviation in the Gaussian distribution of the source mass.

• EllipsoidSource takes $\sigma$ and $\sigma_2$, analogous to $\sigma$ above, giving the size along the major and minor axes, as well as a rotation $\theta$.

• TriangleSource takes $\sigma$, now interpreted as the size, and the rotation $\theta$.

• ImageSource takes an image file which is used as the source image, in addition to the size parameter $\sigma$.
