Abstract

Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is the spatial frequency response of imaging systems and now develops as an objective merit performance for evaluating both quality of lens and camera. Slanted-edge method and its principle for measuring MTF of digital camera are introduced in this paper. The setup and software for testing digital camera is respectively established and developed. Measurement results with different tilt angle of the knife edge are compared to discuss the influence of the tilt angle. Also carefully denoise of the knife edge image is performed to decrease the noise sensitivity of knife edge measurement. Comparisons have been made between the testing results gained by slanted-edge method and grating target technique, and their deviation is analyzed.
