ISO 15529:1999 PDF

Scope: This International Standard specifies the principal modulation transfer function (MTF) associated with a sampled imaging system, together with related terms. It also outlines a number of suitable techniques for measuring these MTFs. This International Standard is particularly relevant to electronic imaging devices, such as CCD cameras and the CCD arrays themselves. Although a number of measurement techniques are described, the intention is not to exclude other techniques, provided they measure the correct parameter and satisfy the general definitions and guidelines for MTF measurement as set out in ISO 9334 and ISO 9335. The use of a measurement of the edge spread function (ESF), rather than the line spread function (LSF), is noted in particular as an alternative starting point for determining the OTF/MTF of an imaging system.
