Several chart types are used for analyzing cameras because most cameras for the consumer market have nonlinear (non-uniform) signal processing, i.e., they behave differently near contrasty edges (where sharpening, i.e., high frequency boost, tends to be maximized) than in finely textured regions (where noise reduction, i.e., high frequency cut, tends to be maximized).
All Rescharts modules can read imagesįrom image files ( raw and interchangeable) ♦ via d irect data acquisition from a variety of devices Imatest™ Rescharts is a highly-interactive interface for running several Imatest modules that can analyze images of several different test charts for resolution-related parameters such as sharpness (i.e., Spatial Frequency Response SFR, which is equivalent to Modulation Transfer Function MTF), color moiré, and fine detail lost to software noise reduction.
