Wrong calculation of sensor X/Y res
« on: May 03, 2016, 05:58:56 PM »
Hello,

I was new TIFF images (with complete EXIF data) and I noticed that the calculated Sensor X/ res are off.
My data (1280x960) has :
  • FocalPlaneXResolution: 26.666665
  • FocalPlaneYResolution: 26.666665
  • FocalPlaneResolutionUnit: 3 (so cm)
I was expecting Sensor res as 266.66665 mm and a pixel size of 0.00375 mm but instead it shows 2.6666665 mm and a pixel size of 0.375 mm.

Hello Gall,

Thank you for sending the sample image.

FocalPlaneXResolution means that the given number of pixels are present in the one FocalPlaneResolutionUnit, so the pixel size is 10 mm / 26.666 pix = 0.375 mm.

Ok but this result doesn't make sense.

sensor size = size / focal plane resolution so
sensorX = 1280 / (26.666 * 10) = 4.8 mm
sensorY = 960 / (26.666 * 10) =  3.6 mm
which is the size of my sensor. So we should have:
pixel size = sensor size / size
pixelX = 4.8 / 1280 = 0.00375 mm
pixelY = 3.6 / 960 = 0.00375 mm

Am I wrong somewhere?

Hello Gall,

26.666 pix in cm means that there are 2.666 pix in mm, not 266.66.

Ho you're right, that's the part messing me up. So my file is actually off by a factor of 100.

Thank you Alexey.
