This page focuses on Scalable Vector Graphics SVG charts, most of which are used for measuring sharpness MTF with Imatest SFR and SFRplus. Bitmap charts are described elsewhere. SVG charts can be printed any size at a printers maximum quality i. The SVG charts designed for automated testing with SFRplus have numerous advantages over the widely used pre 2. ISO 1. 22. 33 chart. Most of these charts are available through the Imatest Store. We do not recommend printing them unless you have a high quality photographic printer office printers arent good enough, and skill in high quality color managed printing. Introduction SVG chart designs and advantages. Vector graphic images consist of primitives such as lines, polygons, etc., that can be scaled to any size and do not suffer from the pixellation problems of bitmap images. They print at the printers maximum quality, regardless of size. Vector graphics are excellent for generating test charts consisting of lines, curves, and areas that dont require continuous tones such as sine modulation. Scalable Vector Graphics SVG is an XML file format recognized by the World Wide Web Consortium W3. C. SVG files can be read, edited, and printed by Inkscape an excellent free open source program described in Wikipedia. They can also be imported into Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and others.

Measurements and Characterization. Device Performance Analytical Microscopy and. SVG implementations are listed here. Slanted squares on m x n grids. Most of the SVG charts consist of slanted squares arranged on an mxn grid. For charts with 3 or more rows, a grayscale step chart density increment 0. The charts contrast, brightness, and several other details can be set. A standard SVG chart for SFRplus, consisting of a 5x. SFRplus chart 5x. Designed for the automated SFRplus module. This chart is is designed to be printed large at least a 2. SFRplus module that features automatic ROI Region of Interest selection. In addition to MTF, this chart can be used to measure lateral chromatic aberration, lens distortion, gamma contrast, and tonal response. It should be printed large enough so that SFR test results are not limited by the printers resolution letter sized or A4 printers are only suitable for low resolution VGA similar images. Grid choices include 1x. SFRplus. The smaller grids 1x. SFR. The larger grids 3x. ISO 1. 22. 33 chart. The squares are tilted as shown to facilitate the measurement of Lateral Chromatic Aberration, which is done best using tangential or near tangential edges near the boundaries of the image. SFRplus charts have a number of significant advantages over the standard ISO 1. Note a new ISO 1. Far less wasted area. The ISO chart was designed by committee. I know some members who joke about it nobody remembers why the wagon wheel was included. Less than 1. SFR measurements 9. Slanted edges may not be available in important regions such as the corners. Larger ROI location tolerance. Imatest SFR requires that ROIs regions of interest be selected prior to the run. On the ISO chart, very limited areas are usable for ROIs. If the ROI selection is made carelessly, interfering patterns may spoil the measurement. The relatively large squares in the SVG charts allow for considerable tolerance. The illustration below shows how the ROI can be shifted much further vertically for the SVG chart. The square in the ISO chart is very small the ROI needs to be as large as possible to ensure good results. Better suited to automated testing. The spacing of the slanted squares, the absence of interfering patterns, and the large ROI selection tolerance in the SVG charts is highly compatible with automated ROI refinement in SFR, and 47 and larger charts can be run with SFRplus.

This often results in clipping in the shadows or highlights image too close to levels 0 or 2. It can also reduce the accuracy of MTF measurements because many cameras have complex tonal response curves pictorially pleasing S curves, which are hard to linearize. This problem has been recognized by the ISO committee, which is designing charts with much lower contrast for the revised standard which will include several charts rather than trying to fit all measurements into one chart. A 1. 0 1 contrast ratio is a good choice for a relatively high contrast chart that produces results close but not always identical to the old ISO charet. Previous target designs had several resolution features that, while visually and instinctively appealing, offered little to enable automated and robust camera evaluation. The predominance of high contrast features, lack of in situ neutral gray patches, absence of machine vision registration features, and unnecessary complexity are, in retrospect, seen as design flaws. Lateral Chromatic Aberration LCA. The vertical edges near the left and right borders are oriented tangentially to facilitate LCA measurement. Nonlinear image processing. Many perhaps most digital cameras employ some type of nonlinear signal processing to enhance image appearance. In practice this means that sharpness is increased MTF is boosted at high spatial frequencies in the proximity of contrasty edges and noise is reduced MTF is cut at high spatial frequencies if there are no contrasty edges nearby. Hence, low and high contrast edges often have very difference MTF response. SVG charts can have two contrasts primary and secondary shown above. An number of SFRplus chart options are available in the Imatest Store. For unusual custom requirements, contact for details. Operation. To run Test Charts, run Imatest and click on Test Charts in the Imatest main window. The dialog box shown below appears. The available settings change for different patterns. Test Charts input dialog box for a 59 SFRplus chart SVG chart pattern selections are shown in on the right starting with number 1. Select the Pattern the type of chart and the options. The chart preview appears immediately its worth spending some time exploring the options they wont all be listed on this page. When the options have been selected, enter the test chart folder directory and file name, then click on Create test chart. You may cancel by clicking on Close. A preview figure showing the chart not for printing will be displayed. You can zoom in to see the fine detail. An example is shown below. The figure with the image of the chart is for preview only it shows you roughly what the chart looks like and lets you zoom in if you want. Do not print the chart directly from this figure. To print SVG charts, load the Print Test SVG output file charttemp. SVG. Inkscape is recommended Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and others can also be used. This will allow you to select the size of the print, add annotations, use color management, etc. You can zoom in on the chart by selecting an area or clicking on a point of interest. Double clicking restores the complete image. The preview image or zooms of the image may have some artifacts and appear jagged because it lacks anti aliasing.
