SCHEDULE
I. SCOPE OF WORK
Contractor shall furnish facilities and services necessary to perform
the following work:
(a) Investigate the feasibility of frequency attenuating
filters and their application to image enhancement, determine the
analytical means for their evaluation, and ascertain the limitation
of image enhancement resulting from their use.
(b) Conduct an experimental program to devise a practical way
for constructing and mounting frequency attenuating filters.
Consider mechanical and photographie means of Waking such filters,
and determine specifications on the glass or other supporting
structure necessary to hold them accurately in place. All methods
and tests are to be correlated with theoretical developments.
(c) As guided by (a) and (b) above, construct a set of such
filters if theory and tests indicate feasibility which can be
incorporated in the Image Enhancement Viewer. This filter set
shall not exceed four in number. Perform filtering operations on
photographic transparencies to demonstrate the quantitative a:apeets
of the resultant enhancement.
(d) As a result of these research and development studies,
issue a summary report which demonstrates the analytical and
experimental methods used for the program. The report will include
an evaluation of the enhancement produced by frequency attenuating
filters and provide specific rations for future development
of the instrument, if deemed advisable. The report would be
issued no later than one month after the five-month research and
development period.
