What is MTF50P?

(Upper-left) A narrow image illustrating the tones of the averaged edge. Key summary results include MTF50, the frequency where contrast falls to 50% of its low frequency value, and MTF50P, the frequency where contrast falls to 50% of its peak value, which corresponds well with perceived image sharpness.

What is spatial frequency response?

The spatial frequency response (SFR) is one of the most important and unbiased image quality measures of a digital camera. It evaluates to which extent a lens/sensor combination can resolve scene details.

What is a good MTF?

Generally, contrast will typically be higher than resolution in MTF charts, so anything higher than 0.9 indicates excellent contrast, between 0.7 and 0.9 is generally very good, between 0.5 and 0.7 is average and anything below 0.5 is soft / bad.

What is low spatial frequency?

Spatial frequency describes the periodic distributions of light and dark in an image. High spatial frequencies correspond to features such as sharp edges and fine details, whereas low spatial frequencies correspond to features such as global shape.

What is camera MTF?

Modulation Transfer Function or “MTF” is a measurement of the optical performance potential of a lens. MTF charts can give you a better understanding of the optical quality of various NIKKOR lenses, and can be useful references when researching, comparing and purchasing a lens.

What is a good MTF value?

What is the MTF SCP?

Mobile Task Force (also known as MTF) is a Combatant Team. They are the SCP Foundation’s Elite soldiers tasked with protecting the Foundation from outside attacks and re-containment of SCPs. Their primary mission is to protect SCPs from escaping, avoid containment breaches, and recontain escaped SCPs.

Where do I find the mtf50 measurement on Imatest?

The measurement (MTF50, MTF50P, etc.) should be selected from the dropdown menu at the top-left. For this particular analysis, Part way mean was selected in the Region dropdown menu, top-center. ( Center mean will be selected in cases where the image is sharpest in the center.)

How to measure the MTF of an image?

Create a reference edge whose MTF can be measured by Imatest SFR. Create a reference image with sharpness identical to the edge. Subject the edge and image to a sequence of operations that affect perceived sharpness and corresponding MTF response.

What’s the difference between mtf50 and mtf10?

Identical to MTF50 for low to moderate sharpening, but increases more slowly for strong oversharpening. Spatial frequency where contrast is 20% of low frequency level. Close to the vanishing resolution (which may be closer to MTF10, but MTF10 is often strongly affected by noise).

How big does a poster need to be to be mtf50?

Determining MTF50 depends on the print size. If you plan to print large posters (20 × 30 inches or over), the more MTF50, the sharper your prints will appear.
