Abstract: From the crude greyscale charts used in early film production to present-day sophisticated color alignment systems, test patterns have been fundamental to the production of consistent, high-quality images. High-definition and advanced television systems have further emphasized the need for precision test materials. The aim of this paper is to examine the different types currently in use and to offer suggestions in the selection of appropriate systems for different applications.

bio
David Corley was educated at Kings, Canterbury, and Christ Church Cathedral School, Oxford. He emigrated to Canada in 1950 and worked in many aspects of motion picture and television production. His main interests are in the technical aspects of image quality. Corley and his wife Susan established DSC Laboratories in 1962 to provide precision products and services to the television and AV communities. He has patents for seamless (soft-edged) panorama technology, a dichroic additive printer, electronic shutter, ambient light illuminator, and optical signal generators. Corley has been a SMPTE member since 1966 and a Fellow since 1986. Active in SMPTE engineering committees, he was honored with the Fuji Gold Medal in 1994. He is dedicated to the Student Chapter Program and to providing ongoing education to Society members through the Web.
