The problem of identifying optical system point spread functions (PSFs) arises frequently in the area of image processing and restoration. The paper presents a method for determining two-dimensional PSFs from input/output image signals. The PSF of the system is determined from a set of linear equations involving elements of the input autocorrelation function and the input/output cross-correlation function. The resulting PSF is the one that minimises the sum of squares difference between the actual output image and the predicted one.
