Visual instrument image-quality assessment with rotationally symmetric difference of Gaussians
Abstract:
We performed contrast-sensitivity measurements using rotationally symmetric, variable contrast difference-of-Gaussians targets, viewed through specially designed telescopes that presented various amounts of monochromatic aberrations. The contrast-sensitivity ratios between aberrated and unaberrated cases were correlated with instrument-based measures of image quality. The radius that encircles 84% of the energy of the point-spread function was found to give the best correlation with the subjective data.

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it instrumental in...
