The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (IS0 m
11、ember bodies) that develops and publishes Interna- tional Standards. The American National Standards Institute, Inc, is the United States member of ISO. The work of developing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 tech- nical committees. Each member body interested in a subject
12、 for which a technical com- mittee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Interna- tional organizations, governmental and nongovernmental. in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulate
13、d to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75% approval by the member bodies voting. Whenever possible, an IS0 standard wiIl be adopted to replace a comparable Ameri
14、can National Standard to avoid dual standard situations that could result in incompatibility. It should be mentioned that certain conventions, spelling, and units in International Stan- dards are different from those normally used in American National Standards, but this is not expected to cause dif
15、ficulty in understanding or use. International Standard for Photography - Black-and-White Aerial Camera Films - Deter- mination of IS0 Speed and Average Gradient, IS0 7829-1986, was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC42, Photography. The text of IS0 7829-1986 has been adopted in this revision of
16、American National Standard Method for Determining the Speeds of Mono- chrome Photographic Negative Films for Aerial Photography, ANSI PH2.34-1969. Changes in aerial photography over the last ten years, particularly those related to the increased use of mechanized processing, have made it necessary t

Therefore, this standard does not specify the processing conditions but does pro- vide a method for measuring the speed of various film-process combinations. Suggestions for the impr

25、key Harry Atwood Rlchad J. Byer W the aim being to create an International Standard that would incorporate the most important features of these standards. Changes in aerial photography over the last 10 years, par- ticularly those related to the increased use of mechanized pro- cessing, has made it n
26、ecessary to eliminate the processing restrictions present in some of the existing standards in order to provide the user with realistic IS0 speed and average gradient values. Assigning speed values to aerial films presents problems. Aerial films are required to record or even amplify the small varia
27、tions in luminance that exist when the earth is viewed from altitudes of several kilometres or as low as 20 to 30 m where the luminance range may be of the same order as that of ordinary ground photography. In the first case, the films are developed to a high average gradient or contrast; and in the
28、 second case, to a very low average gradient. In addition to the factor of elevation (slant range). the luminance range of the subject rnat- ter may be further modified by aerial haze, solar altitude, and contrast (ratio of sunlight to skylight). Modifying the process- ing of a given aerial film, or
29、 the selection of film emulsions hav- ing certain preferred gradation characteristics, are methods commonly used for obtaining optimum information. Since there is no ideal, “gamma”, “average gradient”, or any other characteristics that can be ascribed to an aerial film for all applications, no singl
30、e contrast or degree of development as a measure of film contrast is specified in this International Stan- dard for determining film speed. Therefore, it is possible for a film to have several speed and average gradient values assigned to it depending on the processing conditions. At the preeent tim
31、e, there are a number of processing methods that can be used for aerial films. Some of them are difficult to define or may not be representative of all conditions under which aerial films will be processed. Most standards for deter- mining the speed of aerial films specify a single process for deter
32、mining speed, but the values obtained are of limited use and are seldom used due to lack of correlation with practical applications. In recognition of these factors, this International Standard does not specify the processing conditions, but provides a method for measuring the speed of various film-
33、process combinations; this means that a description of both the film and process used shall be given when quoting IS0 speed values. Therefore, a single film product may have several speed values associated with it depending not only on the extent of development in a particular process, but also on t
34、he type of developer, machine, etc., used. The density at which the speed is calculated is 0.30 above base plus fog which is considered a compromise be- tween minimizing the influence of contrast variations on speed and the minimum density to which aerial films are exposed. A method for determining
35、the IS0 aerial average gradient is also described in this International Standard. Since IS0 aerial speed is dependent on the extent of development, it is sug- gested the IS0 average gradient values be provided whenever IS0 speed is given, for example, IS0 AM/(? 1.6. It should however, be recognized
36、that other characteristics such as fog, image quality, etc. may also be affected by the extent of development. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies the method for determin- ing the IS0 aerial speed and IS0 aerial average gradient of black-and-white negative camera f

ANSI/IS0 7829-1986, ANSI PH2.34-1987 3 Definitions For the purpose of this International Standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 exposure, H : The time integral of illuminance on the film measured
39、 in lux seconds and designated by the symbol H. NOTE - Exposure is often expressed in logloH units. 3.2 speed : A quantitative measure of the response of the photographic film-process combination to radiant energy for the specified conditions of exposure, processing, and image measurement. 3.3 avera
40、ge gradient : The slope of the straight line joining two points on a sensitometric curve. 4 Sampling and storage In determining the IS0 speed of a product, it is important that the samples evaluated yield the average results obtained by users. This will require evaluating several different batches p
41、eriodically under the conditions specified in this International Standard. Prior to evaluation, the samples shall be stored ac- cording to the manufacturers recommendations for a length of time to simulate the average age at which the product is nor- mally used. Several independent evaluations shall
42、 be made to ensure the proper calibration of equipment and processes. The basic objective in selecting and storing samples as described above is to ensure the film characteristics are representative of those obtained by a photographer at the time of use. 5 Method of test 6.1 Principle Samples are ex
43、posed and processed as specified below. Den- sity measurements are obtained from the resultant image to produce a sensitometric curve from which values are taken and used to determine IS0 aerial speed and IS0 aerial average gradient values. 5.2 Safelights To eliminate the possibility of safelight il
44、lumination affecting the sensitometric results, all films shall be handled in complete darkness during exposing and processing. 5.3 Exposure 5.3.1 Sample condition During exposure, the samples shall be at a temperature of 23 f 2X and a relative humidity of 50 f 5 %. Thus is the recommended atmospher
45、e and normal tolerances specified in IS0 554 for test results. 5.3.2 Type of sensitometer The sensitometer shall be a non-Intermittent, illuminance-scale type. 5.3.3 Radiant energy quality 5.3.3.1 Relative spectral power distribution The relative spectral power distribution of the illuminant shall b
46、e as specified in table 1. These values were derived by multiplying the relative spectral power distribution values for Dg, by the transmittance values, r, of an IS0 standard aerial camera lens. 5.3.3.2 Filters IS0 speed shall be specified for use without a filter in front of the camera lens. If fil
47、m is used with a colour filter in front of the camera lens, an “equivalent” speed number can be used to Table 1 - Relative spectral power distribution of IS0 sensitometric aerial daylight Wavelength, A Relative rpectral power dirtribution of aerial photographic daylight Relative Ion8 Intarnatlonal s
