The Four Quadrant Tone Reproduction Curve (The "Jones Plot") The System involves Three TTFs Camera Monitor Processor LoLo pixel value, P c Luminance, L c pixel value, P m The three TTFs combine to make one SYSTEM TTF. We want the overall SYSTEM TTF to make the best possible image. LoLo pixel value, P c Luminance, L c pixel value, P m LcLc LoLo 0 0 L max IwIw How do we design the Processor TTF? We construct a Jones Plot. Assume we know the camera TTF. Assume we know the monitor TTF. PcPc LoLo PmPm LcLc LoLo pixel value, P c Luminance, L c pixel value, P m Assume we DEFINE the desired SYSTEM TTF. LoLo LcLc LoLo pixel value, P c Luminance, L c pixel value, P m PmPm PcPc ??? How do we figure out what the DIP TTF should be?? LoLo LcLc Place the TTFs into four quadrants as follows.. LoLo pixel value, P c Luminance, L c pixel value, P m I L PcPc I PmPm L (I) Camera (III) Monitor (IV) SYSTEM (II) Processor ??? (required) (set by OEM) Flip around horizontal axis I L (I) Camera (III) Monitor (IV) SYSTEM (II) Processor PcPc I PmPm L ??? so that values increase as you go to the right and down. I L (I) Camera (III) Monitor (IV) SYSTEM PcPc I PmPm L (II) Processor ??? Flip around vertical axis I L (I) Camera (III) Monitor (IV) SYSTEM PcPc I PmPm L (II) Processor ??? so the values increase up and to the left. I L (I) Camera (III) Monitor (IV) SYSTEM PcPc I PmPm L (II) Processor ??? Find the missing TTF by tracing around the graph.
