1、Basic Optics and Optical System Specifications
The generally accepted guideline is that approximately three resolution elements or 1.5 line pairs over the object’s spatial extent are required to acquire an object.
Approximately eight resolution elements or four line pairs over the object’s spatial extent are required to recognize the object and 14 resolution elements or seven line pairs are required to identify the object .
There is an important rule of thumb, which says that this smallest desired resolution element should be matched in size to the minimum detector element or pixel in a pixelated charged-coupled device (CCD) or complemen
