Review of empirical models of photographic recording of image information.

In this paper, elementary problems of empirical photographic models of image information recording are discussed against the background of which a concept of our own model is presented which was used in the theoretical examinations of the influence of edge effects on acutance. The results obtained partially fill in the gap in this region of photographic structurometry and provide a starting point for further simulation model examinations and verification of the theoretical results by comparing them with the results obtained in laboratory investigations.
