Abstract
In one embodiment, a system receives pixel data from a pair of regions of an image generated by an imaging device, the pair of regions includes a first region and a second region, where the first region includes a first plurality of pixels and the second region includes a second plurality of pixels. The system determines a plurality of pixel pairs, where a pixel pair includes a first pixel from the first plurality of pixels and a second pixel from the second plurality of pixels. The system calculates a plurality of contrasts based on the plurality of pixel pairs. The system determines a contrast distribution based on the plurality of contrasts. The system calculates a value representative of a capability of the imaging device to detect contrast based on the contrast distribution. The system determines a reduction in contrast detectability of the imaging device based on the value.
