Evaluation of characterization methods of Printer MTF

چکیده
We explore two recent methods for measuring the Modeling Transfer Function of a printing system. We investigate the dependency on the amplitude when using the sinusoidal patches of the method proposed in and show that for too small amplitudes the measurement of the MTF is not trustworthy. For the method proposed in we discuss the underlying theory and in particular the use of a significance test for a statistical analysis. Finally we compare both methods with respect our application – the processing and printing of photographic images.

Image Evaluation and Analysis of Ink Jet Printing System (I): MTF Measurement and Analysis of Ink Jet Image
In this study, the modulation transfer functions of prints, which included both mechanical and optical dot gain effects were measured from samples printed by an ink jet printer on glossy-coated, matt-coated and uncoated papers. The MTF of prints were measured from sinusoidal patterns and Fourier transforms of line spread functions from one-pixel line and step images. The MTF of print from three...
متن کاملEffect of Ink Spread and Opitcal Dot Gain on the MTF of Ink Jet Image
A new measurement method is proposed to separately measure the effect of ink spread and optical dot gain on the MTF (modulation transfer function) of printed images from an ink jet printer. The transmittance and reflectance of the same printed images are captured with two different illuminations: one on the printing surface (for measuring reflectance) and the other through the paper base surfac...
متن کاملCompensation of printer MTFs
Preliminary experiments have shown that the quality of printed images depends on the capacity of the printing system to accurately reproduce details. We propose to improve the quality of printed images by compensating for the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the printing system. The MTF of the printing system is measured using the method proposed by Jang and Allebach, in which test pages c...
متن کاملAngular dependence of sampling modulation transfer function.
Sampling modulation transfer function (MTF) as defined in Park et al. [Appl. Opt. 23, 2527-2582 (1984)] as an x and y sampling can be generalized for image data not along x and y directions. For a given sampling lattice (such as in a laser printer, a scene projector, or a focal-plane array), we construct a two-dimensional sampling MTF based on the distance between nearest samples in each direct...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication Process of MTF Phantom CT Scan
Introduction: One of the main steps in the optimization process in diagnostic imaging is the quality control of radiology devices. The usual method of CT scan calibration is used of a phantom. The phantom created a certain weakening for the radiation through which it passes. One of the most suitable methods for quantitative analysis of the resolution and contrast in CT scan im...
