Systems Linearity Considerations for Digital Photography
نویسنده
چکیده
End-to-end system studies in digital photography inevitably lead to the question of setting goals in order to achieve overall linearity. But this itself poses the specific question of which key print/display variables should, in ideal circumstances, be linear with which key sceneacquisition parameters. Within the digital context, intuitive answers gleaned from traditional analog approaches to this question can vary from the confusing to the misleading, and digital attempts at direct emulation of analog systems may in fact off-set the potential advantages implicit in the newer digital technologies. The author has used a digital end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio model to consider some aspects of this linearity question, and to offer solutions based on the appropriate combination of SNR optimization and the human visual-response characteristics. Some results and conclusions are discussed here, especially those relating to the optimum digital strategy for sceneacquisition.

متن کاملCCD Requirements for Digital Photography
Digital photography has the potential to supersede conventional film photography. In order to realize this potential, digital photography needs to provide the best image quality and highest utility. We have used our modeling of photographic systems and our experimental measurements of CCDs in order to estimate the photographic potential of specific CCDs. We have also extrapolated the future req...
متن کاملFrom Analog to Digital Aerial Imageproduction. Experiences from Nma-image-productions Based on Eu-tender
This paper presents considerations and solutions, done by the National Survey and Cadastre (KMS), to overcome challenges in the transition from analogue to pure digital aerial image collection. Considerations and solutions are generalized but are actually linked to the case, when production is executed through partnerships established by a EU-tender.
