Does anyone know the optical algorithms for calculating (or at least estimating) parallax and luminosity? So far I have only found something for parallax, and not quite sure it is correct. For luminosity I haven't really found anything useable. This is all in regards to rifle scopes and similar smaller lenticular systems. Luminosity should preferably be in denary ratio, 1.0 = no change, <1.0 = less luminous, >1.0 = more luminous. What I do know is that the greater magnification the greater luminosity loss. As far as I know, luminosity should depend primarily on objective diameter and magnification.
The algorithm I found for parallax:
[itex]I = (F^{-1} - O^{-1})^{-1}[/itex]
I := distance from image to lens
O := distance from object to lens
F := focal length
