Title: Holography


1
The Properties of Images and Imaging
Devices Group II of the Imaging Chain

Think of an image mathematically.
A simple black white image is a volume of
information! Two dimensions are spatial
dimensions (cm for example) The other dimension
is lightness/darkness

Lines are regions of constant gray level
5
The 3D graph and the contour plot are not used
much in imaging science. Other graphical
representations are more often used. One that is
commonly used is the "Histogram"
6
The Histogram A statistical way of looking at an
image
Step 1 Sample the image Divide it up into
"pixels"
7
Step 2 Look at the gray value of each "pixel"
Gray Scale
R 1 is white R 0 is black
Gray Value R 0.653
8
Step 3 Take the gray pixels out of the image.
We have cut the image into lots of pieces, called
"pixels". We measure the gray value, R, for each
patch.
9
Step 4 Sort the pixels from darkest to
lightest.
There are many pixels at this gray level.
Only a few at these gray levels.
10
Each pixel in the image has its place in the
stacks of rearranged pixels.
11
Step 5 Form a graph to represent the sorted
pixels.
Number of pixels at a given R
R
Each pixel in the image has its place in the
stacks of rearranged pixels.
12
If you use very small pixels, the graph becomes
sharper.
This is called the image Histogram.

The Image Histogram Has Many Uses Use 1 A
way to describe Properties of an Image

The Imaging Device is described by the way it
transforms gray levels in histograms.

This graph is called the Tone Transfer Function
(TTF). The TTF is a characteristic of the Imaging
Device.
Different shape curves will produce output
different histograms.

How to measure a TTF
Use an image with a very simple histogram. A gray
scale has the same number of pixels at each gray
level.

How to measure a TTF
Pair up the input values, Rc, with the output
values, Ro.

Plot the output values, Rc, versus the input

Device 1 is most sensitive to brightness. It
makes the copy brighter. Device 3 is least
sensitive to brightness. It makes the copy
darker.

A Cautious Note There are many ways to define
indices of sensitivity and slope. There are many
other names used instead of sensitivity and
slope. For example, Adobe Photoshop
uses, Brightness -100 to 0 to 100 (instead
of sensitivity lt 1 to 1 to gt 1)
Sensitivity
Gamma
For example, Adobe Photoshop uses, Contrast -100
to 0 to 100 (instead of gamma lt 1 to 1 to gt
1) In general, however, the TTF of most imaging
devices are characterized by some index of
location (sensitivity, brightness, etc.) and by
some index of slope (gamma, contrast, etc.)
46
Properties of the Image (I) The Histogram A.
Brightness (average R) B. Contrast (Range of
R) (II) Others to be discussed
later (sharpness, granularity, etc.) Note
Don't confuse the terms "brightness" and
"contrast" as used here for the terms used by
Adobe and others for location and slope of the
TTF. We are using the terms as properties of
the image, not properties of the imaging device.
47
Properties of the Imaging Device (I) The TTF
(Transforms the histogram) A. Sensitivity B.
Gamma (II) Others to be discussed
later (sharpening/blurring, noise, etc.)
Note All imaging devices are described by the
TTF. Most devices are given an index of location
defined from the TTF. Most devices are given an
index of slope defined from the TTF. However
Different organizations use different definitions
for location and slope. They also use different
names for the TTF, the location, and the
slope. Also, terms like "sensitivity", "gamma",
"brightness", and "contrast" are in common use,
but there is no universal agreement about how
these terms should be applied. Thus, all four
are used by different groups to mean many
different things, both as device properties and
as image properties. Be cautious and ask for
clarification if you are not sure what is meant.
