## Abstract (arXiv)

We explore the impact of aperture size and shape on automotive camera systems for deep-learning-based tasks like traffic sign recognition and light state detection. A method is proposed to simulate optical effects using the point spread function (PSF), enhancing realism and reducing the domain gap between synthetic and real-world images. Computer-generated scenes are refined with this technique to model optical distortions and improve simulation accuracy.
