Abstract

The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is commonly used to characterize the spatial quality of imaging systems. This work is the attempt to measure the MTF at Nyquist frequency of the satellite imaging system what has 1m spatial resolution for KOMPSAT-2 image using the edge function. Artificial tarp targets are used in this study. A type of this tarp edge consists of two adjacent uniform bright and dark sides commonly used to test the performance of an optical system in edge function. The results from this work demonstrate the potential applicability of this method to estimate the response characteristics for KOMPSAT-2 that is scheduled to be launched.
