transfer function method of assessing image quality of lenses
and other optical systems, its advantages and limitations•
(b) undertake an investigation, both practical and theoretical, on
the accuracy achievable with different types of test eouipraent
for measuring o. t,f, and to specify the requirements to be met
by test equipment;
(c) ensure standardisation of o.t, f, measurement in different
laboratories by exchange of lenses, test results, etc;
(d) prepare a draft standard on the use of o. t, f, in the calibration
of cameras. This draft is to be available in time for considera
tion at the 1968 Lausanne Congress*
(e) evaluate results of o. t. f, measurements on typical photogrammetric
camera lenses and to determine criteria for o, t. f. for camera
lenses, as a guide to lens designers;
(f) consider the application of o,t,f, techniques both theoretically
and practically to other components than lenses, i,e. to photographic
emulsions, filters, windows, etc. By revealing areas for research,
the V/orking Group should encourage work to be undertaken, and where
practicable arrange for such work to be carried out by its members.
5. workina; G-roup on Image Location
The Chairman of this Forking Group is Prof. B. Ilallert. The Terms of
Reference given to it were:-
(a) evaluate existing evidence on the geometric performance of
photogrammetric photographs and their copies;
(b) institute programmes of work both theoretical and practical, where
the evaluation reveals that information on geometric, performance
is lacking;
(c) establish tolerances for geometric performance of photogrammetric
systems and their components and to draft specifications as a
guide to equipment designers and users;
(d) determine the required accuracy for basic test measuring procedures
used in research on image location problems and to report these to
interested research workers;
(e) consider the best method of recording and reporting geometric per
formance of photogrammetric systems, including the use of
statistical evaluation of the numerical data, and to make recommenda
tions for implementation in a new standard or an amendment to the
Camera Calibration Standard;
w co-operate with Commission II on fundamental geometric problems and
co-ordinate activities wherever possible.
