Statement of Work
STATINTL 1.
will provide technical assistance, as
required, to establish operating procedures which will produce valid
STATINTL output from the 0 1032T trichroma~ic microdunsitometer. This
work will include an investigation to determine proper location of
STATINTL 2
will provide information processing routines
for automatic data reduction of the microdensitometer output. These
routines-will facilitate technical and intelligence analyses of single
and multilayer emulsion films. The documentation furnished in support
of these routines will include:
a. Complete listing of the deck for each FORTRAN program.
b. Documentation for each FORTRAN program consisting of:
1. Block diagram of the program showing the exact
flow of this data and operation preformed on it.
2. Detailed description of all input data such as;
range and number of data values; purpose, definition and values of
all constants; settings on the NPiC Microdensitometer that are peculiar
to the program.
3. Detailed description of all output data such as:
range of values; what the cause could be if the values are out of
range (assuming the program is in production status; what assumption
and conclusion can be drawn from the output.)
4. Detailed description of all mathematical analysis
methods in the program, equations and relevant diagrams.

COLOR ~XPOSUP.;~, T:~BLE GLNERI~`1'OR
This task is the completion of the effective exposure table
selection and generation. without this capability, the effective
exposure principle cannot he used in the computation of color i~1TF.
This task has five subtasks as follows:
a. Completion of the characteristic matrix program
b. Scalar array computation and regression fitting to generate
the Equations relating image color to scalar array
c. Programming of the exposure table generator and exposure
selection procedure
d. Testing of the final color exposure generator

II COLOR G:~I~.i~UL11RITY STUDIES
This task compares the granularity of color materials with
that of blac)c and white materials on the basis of the mathematical
characteristic. The investigation takes the farm of examining the
noise properties of color materials using three different techniques.
The following sub-taslcs are required:
a. Record and sample preparation
b. Study of classical gaussion properties as they relate to
color materials (Sel~~ayn's law etc. )
c, Binomial Distribution Studies
d. Crass and auto correlation programs

VI I~~IICI'O -A~T~1I,Y%IR OIlJI;CTIVI;S ASSIJSSMENT
Discrepancies have been noted in the selection of objectives for tl~ current color
micro-densitometer. Achromat objectives, desi ned for metallographic use are not suitable
for the precise location of focus of the micro-densitometer with respect to the orientation of
the layers of a classical color tripaclc. This program will evaluate the chromatic abberation
and focus plane characteristics of current apo-chomat and planapo-chomat objectives.
