Dear Ray:
Enclosed is a detailed breakdown on man-hours and cost for
our proposal no. 6927-59. (Microdensitometry Support). Some of
these are essentially continuations of previous work (Task 1,
Task 4, and Task 5). Tasks 2, 3, and 6 are additional efforts.
The work statement submitted to you earlier covers the
documentation that will be provided with the computer programs.
I have enclosed a copy of it for your convenience.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

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

I COLOR EXPOSURE TABLE GENERATOR
This task is the completion of the effective exposure table
selection and generation. Without this capability, the effective

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

noise properties of color materials using three different techniques.
The following sub-tasks are required:
a. Record and sample preparation
b. Study of classical gaussion properties as they relate to
color materials (Selwvn's law etc.)
c. Binomial Distribution Studies
d. Cross and auto correlation programs

emulsions. Its objective is to provide a means for MTF generation
and an analysis and interpretation of their value and meaning of such
measurements in the color situation. The study will be composed of
the following five sub-tasks:
a. Color target generation
b. Cooley-Tukey transform methods (edges, combs)
c. Standard transforms (edges, combs)

VI AIICIO -ANALYZER OBJECTIVES ASSESSMENT
Discrepancies have been noted in the selection of objectives for the current color
micro-densitometer. Achromat objectives, designed 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 tripack. This program will evaluate the chromatic abberation
and focus plane characteristics of current apo-chomat and planapo-chomat objectives.
