Image sharpness Sharpness is arguably the most important photographic image quality factor : it's the factor most closely related to the amount of detail an image can render. But it's not the only important factor. Imatest measures a great many others. Sharpness is defined by the boundaries between zones of different tones or colors. It is illustrated by the bar pattern of increasing spatial frequency, below. The top portion represents a target used to test a camera/lens combination. It is sharp ; its boundaries are abrupt, not gradual. The bottom portion illustrates the effect of a high quality 35mm lens on a 0.5 millimeter long image of the pattern (on the film or digital sensor plane). It is blurred . All lenses, even the finest, blur images to some degree. Poor lenses blur images more than fine ones. One way to measure sharpness is to use the rise distance of the edge, for example, the distance (in pixels, millimeters, or fraction of image height) for the pixel level to go from 10% to 90% of its final value. This is called the 1090% rise distance. Although rise distance is a good indicator of image sharpness, it has one limitation. It is poorly suited for calculating the sharpness of a complete imaging system from the sharpness of its components, for example,

Since the future of photography will be digital, it was imperative that a high school digital photography curriculum be created. The literature review goes into extensive detail about digital imaging.

  • Spirit 4K® High-Performance Film Scanner with Bones and Datacine®
    Product Data Sheet Spirit 4K® High-Performance Film Scanner with Bones and DataCine® Spirit 4K Film Scanner/Bones Combination Digital intermediate production – the motion picture workflow in which film is handled only once for scan- ning and then processed with a high-resolution digital clone that can be down-sampled to the appropriate out- put resolution – demands the highest resolution and the highest precision scanning. While 2K resolution is widely accepted for digital post production, there are situations when even a higher re- solution is required, such as for digital effects. As the cost of storage continues to fall and ultra-high resolu- tion display devices are introduced, 4K postproduction workflows are becoming viable and affordable. The combination of the Spirit 4K high-performance film scanner and Bones system is ahead of its time, offe- ring you the choice of 2K scanning in real time (up to 30 frames per second) and 4K scanning at up to 7.5 fps depending on the selected packing format and the receiving system’s capability. In addition, the internal spatial processor of the Spirit 4K system lets you scan in 4K and output in 2K. This oversampling mode eli- minates picture artifacts and captures the full dynamic range of film with 16-bit signal processing. And in either The Spirit 4K® from DFT Digital Film Technology is 2K or 4K scanning modes, the Spirit 4K scanner offers a high-performance, high-speed Film Scanner and unrivalled image detail, capturing that indefinable film DataCine® solution for Digital Intermediate, Commer- look to perfection. cial, Telecine, Restoration, and Archiving applications.

Color Bar & Black Burst Generator (SMPTE Bars & Black Burst) Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Burst Electronics Model SG-3 or SG-7 Color Bar/Black Burst Generator. The SG-3 is a low cost Color Bar/ Black Burst Generator that produces the SMPTE Color Bar pattern or Black Burst signal. A front panel switch is installed to allow you to select either pattern. The SG-7 is a low cost Color Bar/Black Burst Generator that produces the SMPTE Color Bar pattern and six (6) outputs of Black Burst. These units may be used as a genlock reference, to “lay down” bars on tape, or to correctly set the color and brightness of video monitors. They may also be used as a video source for testing cables and equipment. The rear panel of the SG-3 has a single BNC connector that is selectable between SMPTE Color Bars and Black Burst. The rear panel of the SG-7 has seven (7) BNC connectors, 1 SMPTE Color Bars, and six (6) Composite Black Bursts. Both units operate on 12 volts DC from an AC adapter (included).
