Evaluation of Photon Imaging Devices
Abstract
The research was concentrated on the establishment of procedures for evaluation of photon imaging devices and subsystems, with emphasis on television pickup tubes. The results may be grouped into three main categories. First, the authors reexamined the basic criteria now used for rating the performance of photon imaging devices and systems and propose consideration of detective quantum efficiency (DQE) as a more significant figure of merit. Second, a basic test equipment for the evaluation of television camera tubes was set up in the laboratories of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. Third, the measurement techniques are now being extended to evaluate signal and noise directly in the output image presented to the human observer.
