Defines methods of determining distortion in optical systems for the purposes of quality evaluation.

This International Standard specifies methods of determining distortion in optical systems for the purposes of quality evaluation. It applies to optical imaging systems in the optical spectral range from 100nm to 15000nm which, by their design, aim at a rotationally symmetric image geometry. It is applicable to electro-optical imaging systems provided that adequate rotational symmetry of the image is guaranteed. It does not, therefore, apply to anamorphic and fibre optic systems.
