... Despite the wide spread use of the terms MTF, CTF, limiting resolution, minimum resolvable target, and contrast to describe CCD image system quality, the terms are often misused and their relations are little understood. ... The modulation transfer function (MTF) is a Fourier transform of the line spread function i.e. its equivalent as an integral sum of sine waves taken over the whole range of spatial frequencies. MTF by its Fourier nature can only be used to operate on sinusoidal frequencies. ...

... JPEG 2000, the new International Standard for still image compression, has many unique features that offer advantages for users of astronomical data. ... JPEG 2000 is the new International Standard for digital image compression. ... Figure 1 is a flow diagram of the JPEG 2000 algorithm. ... For these applications, it is desirable to have a JPEG 2000 implementation that buffers up the smallest possible number of image lines before compression, and releases the compressed data directly to the downlink...
