Slanted-Edge vs. Siemens Star
We have published a report that addresses concerns about the sensitivity of slanted-edge patterns to signal processing, especially sharpening, and corrects the misconception that sinusoidal patterns, such as the Siemens star (included in the ISO 12233:2014 standard),
are better because they are insensitive to sharpening.
To summarize results, we found that the Siemens Star (and other sinusoidal patterns) are nearly as sensitive as slanted-edges to sharpening, and slanted-edges give reliable MTF measurements that correspond to the human eye’s perception of sharpness.
