Designing micro-imaging systems commonly used in robotic surgery and precision small-scale imaging used in the defense, industrial, and commercial industries requires calculation of Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), where spatial frequencies beyond a certain value are not needed. A newer method, Contrast Optimization, greatly simplifies the calculation, giving imaging system designers a better option for targeting imaging quality. Compared to direct MTF optimization, Contrast Optimization improves the speed of MTF optimization and results in better design solutions.

Learn how to:

• Use Contrast Optimization in the development of a micro-imaging system.

• Compare Contrast Optimization to other optimization methods.

• Improve the speed of MTF optimization and develop better design solutions.
