Image sharpness can be measured by the “rise distance” of an edge within the image. With this technique, sharpness can be determined by the distance of a pixel level between 10% to 90% of its final value (also called 10-90% rise distance; see Figure 3).

Can you measure sharpness?
Sharpness is determined by the edge radius at its apex. The chart uses three units of measurement: Micron – edge apex thickness in microns: 1 micron (µ) = 0.001 millimetre (mm), or 1000 nanometres (nm), or 10,000 angstroms. REST – an acronym for CATRA “Razor Edge Sharpness Tester”, push-cutting force in Newton.
What is sharpness of image detail?
Here is a basic definition of sharpness in photography: sharpness is how clearly detail is rendered in a photograph. That's it! Sharpness is impacted by camera resolution, lens acutance, and more. But the sharpness of an image is simply a matter of detail in the final photograph.
What is used to measure sharpness?
Sharpness is most visible on features like image edges (Figure 2) and can be measured by the edge (step) response. Several methods are used for measuring sharpness that include the 10-90% rise distance technique, modulation transfer function (MTF), special and frequency domains, and slanted-edge algorithm.
Is resolution The sharpness of an image?
Resolution is an important factor to measure the visual quality of digital images, photos and videos. A higher resolution signifies the picture contains more pixels, which means it can display more visual information. As a result, a high-resolution picture is sharper and clearer than a low-resolution one.
