pybsm.metrics.functional.relative_edge_response(*, mtf_slice: ndarray, df: float, ifov: float) float

IBSM Equation 3-61. The slope of the edge response of the system taken at +/-0.5 pixels from a theoretical edge.

Edge response is used in the calculation of NIIRS via the General Image Quality Equation.

Parameters:
  • mtf_slice – 1-D modulation transfer function (unitless) mtf[0] = 1 is at 0 cycles/radian

  • df – spatial frequency step size (cycles/radian)

  • ifov – instantaneous field-of-view of a detector (radians)

Returns:
