Abstract

— A comprehensive study on the correlation of physical parameters with thepsychometric judgment values in regard to photographic images has been attemtped. It has been?shown that there is no unique correspondences between the psychometric value and any one ofthe physical parameters that we considred. Two different combinations of physical parameters?have been suggested as reliable guides for specifying the psychometric figure of merit. Theresults show how closely the proposed combinations correspond to the over all picture quality?values of photographic images.
