Term: Tone Transfer Function (TTF)
- Definition:
- Any generic functional relation that describes the way light levels (or encoded light levels) are numerically transformed. Examples of tone transfer functions are a film's characteristic curve that describes how radiant energy is transformed into different levels of film density. Similarly, a gamma function or OECF describes how scene reflectances are related to 8-bit digital count values.
