Ratio

$$Ratio = \frac{\sigma_D^2}{\sigma_B^2} $$ where: $$\sigma_D^2 $$: variance of pixel values of the detail region on microparticle step $$\sigma_B^2 $$: variance pixel value of the background region on uniform step with same contrast as detail… Read More

Relative contrast

$$Relative\ contrast = \frac{|\mu_D-\mu_B|}{\mu_B}$$ where: μD: mean pixel value of the detail region μB: mean pixel value of the background region… Read More

Visibility and visible

The visibility of details is determined according to the value of an IQI representing the visibility: CNR is used for large low contrast details DCC is used for small high contrast details A threshold is set for every group of details and if the value of the IQI is greater… Read More

Frequency at mtf 50%, 20% and 5%

First the MTF values for all available bar pattern frequencies are calculated. Then, the frequencies at a certain MTF level are calculated with a linear interpolation between the two nearest frequencies having a known MTF value. Read More

DCC

$$DCC = \frac{\sum_i{PCNR_i \cdot w_i}}{\sum_{i}{w_i}} $$ where PCNR (Pixel Contrast to Noise Ratio) is: $$PCNR_i = |GL_i-\mu_B|, \qquad \forall i\in D_i$$ and μB: mean pixel value of the background ROI… Read More

Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR)

$$CNR = \frac{|\mu_D-\mu_B|}{\sigma_B}$$ where µD: mean pixel value of the detail ROI µB: mean pixel value of the background ROI σB: standard deviation of pixel values of the background ROI… Read More

Check control charts

Control charts represent the trend of a statistic inside the range of working values. Control charts are used to visualise the statistic over time and thus to have a clear idea of which are the trends. Furthermore, control charts have also a baseline vale, which is the “normal” value for… Read More
