5.20 TV Distortion 5.20.1 Description TV Distortion is a measure of the perceived distortion in an image. To measure the TV distortion a box that nearly fills the image is placed in object space. A simple grid chart that fulfils this function is attached to this specification (see Appendix B). The difference in height of corners and centre of the box’s image are measured and the difference gives the TV distortion. Note that while it is recommended that the edges of the box should be parallel with the edges of the field of view, it is recognised that this will not always be possible. Mathematically the TV Distortion is given by and the following equation

TV _ Dist (%) = where

A − B 100 × B 1

A=

A1 + A2 2

The reported value is the average distortion of the four corners of the box. Note that pincushion distortion is positive distortion and barrel is negative distortion.
