How do you measure the sharpness of an image?

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).

How do you measure lens sharpness?

Poor lenses blur images more than fine ones. One way to measure sharpness is to use the rise distance of the edge, for example, the distance (in pixels, millimeters, or fraction of image height) for the pixel level to go from 10% to 90% of its final value. This is called the 10-90% rise distance.

What determines sharpness?

Two fundamental factors contribute to the perceived sharpness of an image: resolution and acutance. Acutance describes how quickly image information transitions at an edge, and so high acutance results in sharp transitions and detail with clearly defined borders.

What influences the sharpness of a radiograph?

Source-to-object distance: The greater is the source-to-object distance, the smaller is the penumbra, resulting in a sharper image. Object-to-receptor distance: The greater is the object-to-receptor distance, the larger is the penumbra, resulting in a less sharp image.
