THE IMAGE APPEARANCE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC TARGETS
Abstract
APERTURE THEORY AND NOISE THEORY ARE USED TO PREDICT THE PHOTOGRAPHIC APPEARANCE OF QUASIPOINT TARGETS AS A FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM PARAMETERS AND OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS OF A HIGH ALTITUDE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM. Point targets can be simulated by non-specular reflecting disks or by specular reflecting spheres. The images can be measured photometrically or subjectively. The techniques appear to offer a definitive and practical method of specifying and testing the resolution of complex photographic systems. (Author)
