strange grid pattern

Hi. Does anyone have an explanation for the partial grid pattern visible in the background of this picture (consisting of horizontal and vertical lines)? http://i.imgur.com/EUJBA.jpg I am not sure that describing what you are seeing as a "partial grid pattern" is quite correct. Confirm that the areas I have marked are what you are talking about, so we are on the same page. http://db.tt/MDPLIqNp For now I can only guess that what you are seeing is some type of aliasing artifact. I am sure that others will have a much better idea, along with a possible fix. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Can I add that opening with IrfanView does very little but Windows Photo Viewer and Paint show an overall square grid most apparent in Paint but switching to Full Screen almost removes the pattern. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not" in Reply To. |

Savageduck Interesting, try as I will I can only see one pattern that looks like a few small squares in out of focus top left area. It's surely some sort of aliasing. Is it visible at different resolutions? I don't think it is aliasing. The source image is completely out of focus there with no sharp features to alias. The reason this quirk stands out is because there is no genuine high frequency component to hide it. The in focus insect makes it impossible to follow the lines although every one is present on the other side at a weaker level than on the side where it is most obvious. The features are sharp single pixel lines with adjacent ripples and not regularly spaced in terms of JPEG index or any other obvious sensor metric. My best guess is that some kind of anti-shake mechanism has moved the sensor during the exposure or there is some kind of subtle electronic interference occurring. For those wondering what all the fuss is about easily visible lines occur horizontally at (14, 604) (541,305) delta 300 pixels (183,111) (448, 816) (556, 272) (815, 778) delta 265, 112, 256 taking top left as (0,0) and coordinates as (x,y) 256 is the only one of these spacings that might be a memory related issue. The lines are accurately parallel to the sensor array and can be picked up with difficulty on any out of focus zone. It seems to me like the lines have a different exposure on either side so my instinct is some kind of anti-blur sensor movement or active IS lens affecting exposure. That or you were being illuminated by fairly high power pulsed radar at the time of taking the picture. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

These don't. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
