ON THE INFORMAL HISTORY OF IMAGE EVALUATION TECHNIQUES AND PRACTICE

Abstract

The advances in camera and lens design and the availability of remarkable new emulsions have emphasized the problems of testing photographic systems. The discussion in this paper is de signed to furnish some perspective on the development of camera-lens-system testing techniques, and urges restraint before we get committed to new test methods which may produce more arguments than universally agreed-on results. In addition, questions are raised on the fundamental meaning and purpose of tests.
