The plot on the right shows MTF70 through MTF10 displayed in polar<br />

coordinates. Spatial frequency (cycles per pixel in this case) increases<br />

with radius. (This is the opposite of the image itself, where spatial<br />

frequency is inversely proportional to radius.)<br />

This plot is most similar to the spider plot shown in Image Engineering<br />

digital camera tests and Digital Camera Resolution<br />

Measurement Using Sinusoidal Siemens Stars (Fig. 15), by C.<br />

Loebich, D. Wueller, B. Klingen, and A. Jaeger, IS&T, SPIE Electronic<br />

Imaging Conference 2007. MTF10 (the black octagon on the right)<br />

corresponds to the Rayleigh diffraction limit.<br />

MTF contours: rectangular and polar<br />

The plot on the right shows the MTF contours for each of the 8<br />

segments. Spatial frequency is displayed on a linear scale, but a log<br />

scale may be selected and a color bar (see below) may be added.<br />

This plot contains information similar to the rectangular MTFnn plot,<br />

above.<br />
