-
- Considerable work has been done re: film unflatness in phototgrammetry, a domain concerned with
- acquiring high-precision measurements using optical sensors. Film unflatness plays an obviously
- important role in this precision levels obtainable. I have seen some papers recently on testing film
- unflatness in 35mm cameras (off-the-shelf)....if anybody is interested I could dig out these
- references.
-
- Most commonly in photogrammetry, an accuratly measured reseau (grid plate) is placed within the
- camera and exposed onto the film. We then use the grid images to determine the geometric
- influence of the unflatness. (In addition, we calibrate for other systematic errors - like radial and
- decentering lens distortions - in the perspective projection).
-
- Our interests lie in the geometric side of image formation /acquisition, and may not be of
- interest to those interested purely in the aesthetic side of photography.
