colour.contrast.optical_MTF_Barten1999(u, sigma=0.01)[source]

Returns the optical modulation transfer function (MTF) \(M_{opt}\) of the eye using Barten (1999) method.

Parameters

  • u (numeric or array_like) – Spatial frequency \(u\), the cycles per degree.

  • sigma (numeric or array_like, optional) – Standard deviation \(\sigma\) of the line-spread function resulting from the convolution of the different elements of the convolution process.

Returns

Optical modulation transfer function (MTF) \(M_{opt}\) of the eye.

Return type

numeric or array_like
