Figure 3.4: Amount of reduction in dynamic range as a function of radius of a standard aperture (disk)
filter in pixels. All units are in terms of powers of two, referred to as exposure value (EV) stops.

• Success criteria:
• Reduction of at least 2 stops
to justify the computational cost of deconv
