The following is the suggested modification to the proposal,
",icrodensitometer Support" submitted by Changes STATINTL h
to SIction 3 will also result from these mo ca ons, ut the proposed
contractor can redetermine that section.
SECTION 2
The program will be carried out in two Phases with four Sub-phases
under Phase II. Generally speaking, Phase I comprises a familiarization,
.test, training and calibration period whereas Phase II includes specific
applications in several areas.
This Phase Qf the program will consist of the-necessary familiarization
equipment, on-site and in-plant training, and equipment validation.
`':eye procedures will be largely of a calibration and diagnostic nature.
is proposed that the following be included in Phase
1. Basic Operator training at the contractor's plant, consisting
of a two-week period for two opera-cors.
2. Equipment Familiarization. and test at customer's facility and
STATINTL w- This step will include test runs,.
c4._.4~-;nos is measurement s, overarm stability tests, etc., with
coata to be gathered on site and reduced at the contractor's
plant. A test report will be issued.
P.;.SE II: PROBLEM PHASE
Phase II will include the provision of solutions and procedures
which are specifically oriented toward operational problems. This
Phase will include four Sub-phases, defined below:
1. Sub-phase A
This step will consist of the establishment of detailed
calibration, mensuration, and diagnostic procedures, suitably
defined and published. Operator aids in the form of nomography,
charts, etc., will be provided. Basic color techniques will
be devised, with particular emphasis on balance and aperture
size for various materiw.s. Training will be provided where
required. Standard practice handbooks, forms design, lagging
recommendations, and recommendations for quality control and
maintenance programs will also be provided.

Procedures requiring computer treatment will be defined
to the point where programming could begin and test data for
computer program analysis will be generated.
2. Sub-phase B
This Sub-phase will include the generation of reports
giving detailed procedural information for programming
the following.
3.
This Sub-phase will consist of investigations into color
microdensitometry. Detailed procedures for tri-color operations
will be published. Advanced studies of color microdensitometry
will be conducted with emphasis on computerized data treatment.
Training will be provided as required. '
a. Modulation transfer function (MTF) generation, utilizing
estimating filter techniques.
b. A general "one-shot". MTF technique.
c. Noise study procedures, including statistical analysis,
auto-correlation analysis, power spectral density computation,
etc., including trend correction, window selection, and
other techniques designed to improve confidence in results.
A running auto-correlation procedure'and a piece-wise
p.s.d. estimator will be provided also.
d.- Table generation and data conversion procedures for
effective exposure and generation synthesis.
e. Comparison techniques, including mean square difference,
cross-correlation, and other methods.
f. Mensuration data handling procedures.
Sub-phase C
This Sub-phase will be devoted to the pre5aration of
;problem solutions and procedural recommendations specifically
related to the exploitation aspects of microdensitometry and
to the problems of a system diagnostic nature.'i Training will
be included as required and reports will be generated giving
step by step procedures for diagnosing exploit,;-tion system
anomolies. Procedures for determining confidence factors in
the diagnosis will also be established. Application of the
microdensitometer to-display techniques including density
contouring will be considered, with particular emphasis on
the detailed study of small scale objects.
