Report of Working Group Commission I on Image Quality to XI Congress, International Society for Photogrammetry, Lausanne (Switzerland), 1968.

Abstract

The problems involved in measuring, interpreting and applying transfer functions are more complex and difficult than is generally believed. While transfer functions provide powerful tools for the designer and research work, their adoption will not immediately solve the general problem of specifying image quality. Given adequate instrumentation, the performance of lenses could be specified and controlled more accurately and completely by transfer functions than by resolving power. In furthering the wider use of transfer functions in photogrammetry it will be necessary to advance on a limited front, concentrating first on camera lenses and the instrumentation required to achieve an as yet unrealized agreement between measurements made in different laboratories.
