3.2 Edge response
Table 3 gives the results for the Blonski edge response test.
The width of edges is shown in pixels and again the 20um
leads even to better results than using the 5pm images.
Here the ccd is comparable to 20pm scan. The Luxen test
(see table 4) behaves the same.

3.3 Siemens star test
In this test we used a Siemens star test target with 72 wed-
ges. The minimal possible radius according to the Kell fac-
tor is given with min = E 2 = 16. Again the 20pm
scan gives same results as the 5j/m one and ccd performs
equivalent.
3.4 Noise estimation via entropy
Noise is measured using two homogenous image patches.
The one within a bright area (table 6) and the other one
within a dark area (table 7). In this test the ccd image is

radiometrically scaled to 16 Bit to make the results com-
parable. Noise in the digital sensed image is significantly
lower in comparison to the analog one and this is also the
main reason why the geometrically test yields better results
for the ccd images.

4 CONCLUSION
We have compared film-based images scanned with 5, 10,
15 and 20pm and ccd-based images. In general all four
used films perform quite similar whereas the Kodak T-PAN
and Kodak T-MAX are a little bit better in comparison to
