Modulation transfer function curvesModulation transfer function
The MFT curve was determined using a method similar
to that described in ANSI PH2.39-1977 (R1990),
Photographic Modulation Transfer Function of
Continuous-Tone Black-and-White Photographic Films,
Method of Measuring.
Diffuse RMS granularity
Determined at a net diffuse density of 1.00, using the
aperture indicated.
These values represent 1,000 times the standard
deviation of density produced by the granular structure
of the material when a uniformly exposed and
developed sample is scanned with a densitometer
calibrated to read American Standard diffuse visual
density, and having a circular measuring aperture with
the indicated diameter.
Granularity is an objective measurement of the spatial
variation of sample density that generally correlates
with graininess, which is the subjective effect of the
image nonuniformity upon an observation when
comparisons are made at the same density level.
Broadly speaking, granularity measurements with the
48-micrometer aperture will indicate the magnitude of
the graininess sensation produced by viewing the
diffusely illuminated sample with 12X monocular
magnification.
It should be noted that if the viewing conditions are
changed from the specified conditions, the published
RMS values may no longer correctly indicate the
relative sensations of graininess produced by various
samples.
