■ Imaging Spatial Resolution<br />

Imaging spatial resolution of scanning imagers can be ensured using another<br />

procedure that stems from military night vision evaluation protocol and uses<br />

the same standard bar target. The procedure measures the<br />

modulation transfer function (MTF), a measure of imaging spatial resolution.<br />

Modulation is a measure of radiance contrast and is expressed:<br />

Modulation =<br />

V max –V min<br />

V max + V min<br />

where:<br />

V = the voltage analogue of the instantaneous radiance measured.<br />
