Comparison of Image Quality and Information Capacity for Different Model Imaging Systems

Abstract

The paper presents the results of reproducing a continuous-tone picture by a set of different model imaging systems. Systems with equal information capacity may nevertheless produce continuous-tone reproductions which differ remarkably in “image quality". For this reason, information capacity cannot be accepted as a general measure of image quality when different imaging systems are to be compared.

Zusammenfassung

An einer Reihe von Bildbeispielen wird demonstriert, daβ unterschiedliche Bildspeicher mit gleicher Informationskapazität Reproduktionen von Halbtonbildern mit beträchtlichen Unterschieden in der Bildqualität liefern können. Daher kann man die im Shannon’schen Sinne definierte Informationskapazität nicht als brauchbares Maβ für die mit einem Bilds- peieher für ein bestimmtes Sujet erzielbare Bildqualität ansehen.
