Resolution measurement standards allow users to compare and verify spatial resolution measurements. This document defines termino

23、logy, test charts, and test methods for performing resolution measurements for analogue and digital electronic still-picture cameras. Technical background For consumer digital cameras, the term resolution is often incorrectly interpreted as the number of addressable photoelements. While there are ex

24、isting protocols for determining camera pixel counts, these are not to be confused with the interpretation of resolution as addressed in this document. Qualitatively, resolution is the ability of a camera to optically capture finely spaced detail, and is usually reported as a single valued metric. S

25、patial frequency response (SFR) is a multi-valued metric that measures contrast loss as a function of spatial frequency. Generally, contrast decreases as a function of spatial frequency to a level where detail is no longer visually resolved. This limiting frequency value is the resolution of the cam

26、era. A cameras resolution and its SFR are determined by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, the performance of the camera lens, the number of addressable photoelements in the optical imaging device, and the electrical circuits in the camera, which can include image compressio

27、n and gamma correction functions. While resolution and SFR are related metrics, their difference lies in their comprehensiveness and utility. As articulated in this document, resolution is a single frequency parameter that indicates whether the output signal contains a minimum threshold of detail in

28、formation for visual detection. In other words, resolution is the highest spatial frequency that a candidate camera can usefully capture under cited conditions. It can be very valuable for rapid manufacturing testing, quality control monitoring, or for providing a simple metric that can be easily un

29、derstood by end users. The algorithm used to determine resolution has been tested with visual experiments using human observers and correlates well with their estimation of high frequency detail loss. SFR is a numerical description of how contrast is changed by a camera as a function of the spatial

30、frequencies that describe the contrast. It is very beneficial for engineering, diagnostic, and image evaluation purposes and serves as an umbrella function from which such metrics as sharpness and acutance are derived. Often, practitioners will select the spatial frequency associated with a specifie

31、d SFR level as a modified non-visual resolution value. In a departure from the first edition of this document, two SFR measurements are described. Additionally, the first SFR metrology method, edge-based spatial frequency response, is identical to that described in the first edition, except that a l

32、ower contrast edge is used for the test chart. Regions of interest (ROI) near slanted vertical and horizontal edges are digitized and used to compute the SFR levels. The use of a slanted edge allows the edge gradient to be measured at many phases relative to the image sensor photoelements and to yie

33、ld a phase-averaged SFR response. A second sine wave-based SFR metrology technique is introduced in the second edition. Using a sine wave modulated target in a polar format (e.g. Siemens star), it is intended to provide an SFR response that is more resilient to ill-behaved spatial frequency signatur

34、es introduced by the image content driven processing of consumer digital cameras. In this sense, it is intended to enable easier interpretation of SFR levels from such camera sources. Comparing the results of the edge-based SFR and the sine-based SFR might indicate the extent to which nonlinear proc

35、essing is used. The first step in determining visual resolution or SFR is to capture an image of a suitable test chart with the camera under test. The test chart should include features of sufficiently fine detail and frequency content such as edges, lines, square waves, or sine wave patterns. The t

36、est chart defined in this document has been designed specifically to evaluate electronic still-picture cameras. It has not necessarily been designed to evaluate other electronic imaging equipment such as input scanners, CRT displays, hard- copy printers, or electro-photographic copiers, nor individu

37、al components of an electronic still-picture camera, such as the lens.vi ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 12233:2017ISO 12233:2017(E) Some of the measurements described in this document are performed using digital analysis techniques. They are also applicable with the analogue outputs of the camer

38、a by digitizing the analogue signals if there is adequate digitizing equipment. Methods for measuring SFR and resolution Selection rationale and guidance This section is intended to provide more detailed rationale and guidance for the selection of the different resolution metrology methods presented

39、 in this document. While resolution metrology of analogue optical systems, by way of spatial frequency response, is well established and largely consistent between methodologies (e.g. sine waves, lines, edges), metrology data for such systems are normally captured under well-controlled conditions wh

40、ere the required data linearity and spatial isotropy assumptions hold. Generally, it is not safe to assume these conditions for files from many digital cameras, even under laboratory capture environments. Exposure and image content dependent image processing of the digital image file before it is pr

41、ovided as a finished file to the user prevents this. This processing yields different SFR responses depending on the features in the scene or in the case of this document, the target. For instance, in-camera edge detection algorithms might specifically operate on edge features and selectively enhanc

42、e or blur them based on complex nonlinear decision rules. Depending on the intent, these algorithms might also be tuned differently for repetitive scene features such as those found in sine waves or bar pattern targets. Even for constrained camera settings recommended in this document, these nonline

43、ar operators can yield differing SFR results depending on the target feature set. Naturally, this causes confusion on which targets to use, either alone or in combination. Guidelines for selection are offered below. Edges are common features in naturally occurring scenes. They also tend to act as vi

44、sual acuity cues by which image quality is judged and imaging artefacts are manifested. This logic prescribed their use for SFR metrology in the past and current editions of this document. It is also why edge features are prone to image processing in many consumer digital cameras: they are visually

45、important. All other imaging conditions being equal, camera SFRs using different target contrast edge features can be significantly different, especially with respect to their morphology. This is largely due to nonlinear image processing operators and would not occur for strictly linear imaging syst

46、ems. To moderate this behaviour, a lower contrast slanted edge feature (Figure C.1) was chosen to replace the higher contrast version of the first edition. This feature choice still allows for acuity-amenable SFR results beyond the half-sampling frequency and helps prevent nonlinear data clipping th

47、at can occur with high contrast target features. It is also a more reliable rendering of visually important contrast levels in naturally occurring scenes. Sine wave features have long been the choice for directly calculating SFR of analogue imaging systems and they are intuitively satisfying. They h

48、ave been introduced into the second edition based on experiences from the edge-based approach. Because sine waves transition more slowly than edges, they are not prone to being identified as edges in embedded camera processors. As such, the ambiguity that image processing imposes on the SFR can be l

49、argely avoided by their use. Alternatively, if the image processing is influenced by the absence of sharp features, more aggressive processing might be used by the camera. A sine wave starburst test pattern (Figure 6) is adopted in the second edition. With the appropriate analysis software, a sine wave-based SFR can be calculated up to the half-sampling frequency. For the same reasons stated above, the sine wave-based target is also of low contrast and consistent with that of the edge-based version. An added benefit of the targets design over o
