sensorMPE30

PURPOSE ^

Compute a sensor's minimum photometric exposure (lux-sec) to obtain a 30dB SNR

SYNOPSIS ^

function thirtyDBLevel = sensorMPE30(sensor)

DESCRIPTION ^

 Compute a sensor's minimum photometric exposure (lux-sec) to obtain a 30dB SNR

   thirtyDBLevel = sensorMPE30(sensor)

 If sensor is not defined, the current sensor settings are used.  This
 level is of interest because observers can just barely detect 3 percent
 (30dB) noise in a uniform image.  Hence, we use this lux-sec level to
 determine the noise threshold.

 If no output argument is requested, a graph is produced of snr vs.
 lux-sec and the MPE30 is in the title.
 Otherwise, the thirtyDBLevel is returned and no plot is generated.
