Reading an Imatest Plot: Tonal Response, White Balance, and Gamma
i have little confuse .
what do log(pixel level / 255 ) mean ?
and 0 -0.2 -0.4 -0.6 …. ?
could you explain ?
please .
Hi Mark
Pixel level ranges from 0-255 for 8 bits per pixel images (such as 24bit RGB color images). Levels range from 0-65535 for 16 bit images. We divide by the maximum of the range to obtain a normalized pixel level from 0-1.
Log means Log base 10, so log(x) is equal to the exponent of 10 required to obtain x, I.e.: log(1/255) = -2.4065, log(255/255) = 0. This is the same thing as saying 10^-2.4065 = 1/255, 10^0 = 1. Hope that helps! -Henry
