The red, green and blue curves represent the respective color channels. Two line bar RMS amplitude analysis diagrams are added to the charts to provide a quick overview of the frequency response of vertical (left) and horizontal (right) lines.

Corresponding full scale still images are here (take1) and here(take2) (converted from RAW with Ufraw using simple bilinear demosaic). Typical video frame grab of the test chart at the center location (Take 1). A similar test chart is used in this post on Pixel fill factor. The test chart used, is a customized chart designed to give a quick overview of aliasing and MoirГ© performance for horizontal and vertical lines, as well illustrating the general image quality. Take 3, repetition now using antialiasing filter, CYL 75 at f=22mm, 1/f = 6.3 Take 2, repetition of Take 1 but different lightning conditions. All are captured with an 18-55mm kit lens. Let us start up by looking at some raw video footage of the Nikon d5100 when shooting a test line chart highly prone to aliasing and MoirГ©. This may also be used to evaluate the sampling method of other cameras, when using the same video test and compare with the simulation results. chroma subsampling no included) in order to see the effect on image quality and to see if it is possible to replicate the observed aliasing and MoirГ© of the Nikon d5100 best. In this (rather long) article I will present simulation results from a range of different pixel binning, pixel skipping and demosaic schemes (btw. Having this information is crucial for the design of optical antialiasing filters (low pass filters) matching the various DSLR video cameras. While newer DSLR cameras seem to have come a long way solving this problem, aliasing is still a main problem for many digital cameras, and it is not an easy tassk to find information on what underlying processes are. As the pixel count of those sensors increases the down-scaling becomes more demanding and computational heavy. The focus here is DSLR video systems, which typically use quality compromising methods to reduce the computational load when scaling down of the multi-MP sensors designed for still images. With this investigation I hope to bring a view into how various low-level image sampling and related processes, including pixel binning, pixel skipping and Bayer demosaic algorithms, affect the image quality particularly with respect to the appearance of aliasing and MoirГ©.
