    The document defines key terms used in imaging including object function, resolution, distortions, fuzziness, contrast, and signal to noise ratio. Resolution describes how accurately an image spatially maps an actual object, while distortions refer to any non-linearities in the image mapping. Fuzziness and contrast describe how well an image differentiates parts of an object. Signal to noise ratio is a measure of an imaging system's sensitivity.

    Imaging Definitions

    Object function - the real space description


    of the actual object.
    Resolution - the collected image is only an
    approximation of the actual
    object. The resolution
    describes how accurate the
    spatial mapping is.
    Distortions - describes any important non-
    linearities in the image. If
    there are no distortions, then
    the resolution is the same
    everywhere.
    Fuzziness - describes how well we have described the object we wish to image.
    Contrast - describes how clearly we can differentiate various parts of the object
    in the image.
    Signal to Noise ratio-The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is used in image
    processing as a physical measure of the sensitivity of an imaging system.
