Transfer functions in imaging

(Redirected from EOTF)

Images and videos use specific transfer functions to describe the relationship between electrical signal, scene light and displayed light.

Definition

edit

The opto-electronic transfer function (OETF) is the transfer function having the scene light as input and converting into the picture or video signal as output. This is typically done within a camera.[1]

The electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) is the transfer function having the picture or video signal as input and converting it into the linear light output of the display.[1] This is done within a display device.

The opto-optical transfer function (OOTF) is the transfer function having the scene light as input and the displayed light as output. The OOTF is the composition of the OETF and the EOTF and is usually non-linear.[1]
