Diagnostics for Digital Capture Using MTF
نویسندگان
چکیده
The modulation transfer function (MTF) has long been used as a diagnostic tool for analog image capture, by tracking frequency response caused by aperture, field position, or defocus optical phenomena. For digital capture, these factors still exist, in addition to a host of others introduced by detector motion, sampling, and image processing. Many of these problems can be identified via their MTF signatures and often can be quantified with complementary image analysis tools. Such techniques are useful for monitoring specification compliance and evaluating true imaging performance for digital capture. Using the slanted-edge MTF technique described in ISO 12233, a variety of MTF examples associated with characteristics from the above list are shown for several actual digital capture devices.

The usage of digital radiology systems with insufficient quality control of digital image detectors can efface inherent superiorities of digital systems in comparison with analogue radiology systems and even makes an increased level of patients’ radiation doses. Modulation transfer function (MTF) is one of the most important parameters related to image quality and digital detectors efficiency. ...
متن کاملLow-Frequency MTF Estimation for Digital Imaging Devices Using Slanted Edge Analysis
Modulation transfer function (MTF) metrology and interpretation for digital image capture devices has usually concentrated on midto high-frequency information, relative to the half-sampling frequency. These regions typically quantify characteristics and operations such as sharpening, limiting resolution, and aliasing. However, a potential wealth of low-frequency, visually significant informatio...
متن کاملImage Capture Simulation Using an Accurate and Realistic Lens Model
This paper describes a digital image capture simulator that incorporates a lens model based on point-spread function (PSF) data from a commercial lens design package. This lens model has significant advantages over a simple MTF based model, because it accounts for all image degrading aberrations commonly encountered in image capture systems. Lens design data in the form of a set of highly resol...
متن کاملFast MTF measurement of CMOS imagers using ISO 12233 slanted-edge methodology
The ISO 12233 standard provides a fast and efficient way of measuring Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of digital input devices (such a digital still camera) using a normalized reflective target based on a slanted-edge method. A similar methodology has been applied for measuring MTF of CMOS image sensors, using 12233 slanted-edge technique associated with a prototype transmissive target. In o...
متن کاملRefined Measurement of Digital Image Texture Loss
Image texture is the term given to the information-bearing fluctuations such as those for skin, grass and fabrics. Since image processing aimed at reducing unwanted fluctuations (noise are other artifacts) can also remove important texture, good product design requires a balance between the two. The texture-loss MTF method, currently under international standards development, is aimed at the ev...
