List of Figures

6-1. The Grayscale Standard Display Function is an element of the image presentation after several modifications to the image have been completed by other elements of the image acquisition and presentation chain.
6-2. The conceptual model of a Standardized Display System maps P-Values to Luminance via an intermediate transformation to Digital Driving Levels of an unstandardized Display System.
7-1. The Grayscale Standard Display Function presented as logarithm-of-Luminance versus JND-Index
A-1. Illustration for determining the transform that changes the Characteristic Curve of a Display System to a Display Function that approximates the Grayscale Standard Display Function
C-1. Illustration for the LUM and FIT conformance measures
D.1-1. The test pattern will be a variable intensity square in the center of a low Luminance background area.
D.1-2. Measured Characteristic Curve with Ambient Light of an emissive Display System
D.1-3. Measured and interpolated Characteristic Curve, Grayscale Standard Display Function and transformed Display Function of an emissive Display System. The transformed Display Function for this Display System matches the Grayscale Standard Display Function and the two curves are superimposed and indistinguishable.
