Sharpness is arguably the most important single image quality factor: it determines the amount of detail an image can convey. The image on the upper right illustrates the effects of reduced sharpness (from one application of the Picture Window Pro blur operation).
Device or system sharpness is measured as a Spatial Frequency Response (SFR), also called Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). MTF is the contrast at a given spatial frequency (measured in cycles or line pairs per distance) relative to low frequencies. The 50% MTF frequency correlates well with perceived sharpness— much better than the old vanishing resolution measurement, which indicated where the detail wasn’t.
Sharpness and MTF are introduced in Sharpness: What is it and how is it measured?
The perceived sharpness of a print or display is measured by Subjective Quality Factor (SQF), which is derived from MTF and the Contrast Sensitivity Function of the human visual system.
Sharpness is measured with Imatest SFR, Rescharts Slanted-edge SFR, or the highly-automated SFRplus, using targets you can purchase or print with the Imatest Test Charts module. Concise instructions are found in How to test lenses with Imatest. Detailed instructions are found in Using SFR Part 1 – Setting up and photographing the target and Using SFR Part 2 – Running Imatest SFR.
An alternative method of measuring MTF uses sine pattern charts that increase in frequency logarithmically. This method provides a check on the slanted-edge method; it is more direct but less accurate. It is described Rescharts Log Frequency and Log Frequency-Contrast.
System sharpness is affected by the lens (design and manufacturing quality, focal length, aperture, and distance from the image center) and sensor (pixel count and anti-aliasing filter). In the field, sharpness is affected by camera shake (a good tripod can be helpful), focus accuracy, and atmospheric disturbances (thermal effects and aerosols).
Some lost sharpness can be restored by sharpening, but sharpening has limits. It can’t restore detail where MTF is very low (under about 10%). Oversharpening, illustrated on the right, can also degrade image quality (especially at large magnifications) by causing “halos” to appear near contrast boundaries. Images from many compact digital cameras are oversharpened.
