In digital cameras, the wavelength dependency of images captured through lenses and filters affects the spatial resolution characteristics of the images, which adversely impacts image quality. Previously, lens design and image processing techniques have been considered to address the aforementioned problem. Although aberrations could be improved, it was difficult to completely analyze the wavelength dependency of resolution characteristics. This study aims to reduce the wavelength dependency of the spatial resolution of digital cameras. Edge-based modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements using a 2D spectroradiometer were used to obtain wavelength-specific MTFs and quantitively reveal the wavelength dependency of the spatial resolution characteristics. Moreover, we experimentally confirmed that adjusting the MTFs of the CIEXYZ images obtained by combining spectral images to be closer reduces the difference in spatial resolution among color images while minimizing the color change before and after the adjustment.
