Zernike polynomials are a set of orthogonal polynomials defined over a unit disk, which are commonly used in various fields such as optics, imaging science, and surface metrology. They are particularly useful for describing wavefronts and optical aberrations, as they provide a convenient mathematical framework for representing complex shapes and patterns.
