" BxUs are a mathematical measurement that correlates very well with human perceptions of image sharpness. One BxU roughly corresponds to a "blur more" operation in Photoshop
Это исчерпывающе точное объяснение. Может на сайте Dx0 есть более понятное, пускай и менее точное?Подробнее
The measurements up until now have been fairly standard and familiar. But with the introduction of DxO Analyzer, DO Labs has introduced a new unit of measurement called the Blur Experience Unit, or BxU.
Once again the Y reading is for the Luminance channel, and the R, G and B results as well are shown for both center and corner. The particular corner whose result is shown in this table is the top right hand corner.
In this example the lens is showing a BxU measurement of 2.12 +/- 5% at the center. The BxU is a relative unit, and the numbers are additive. So, it's easy to see that there is nearly 1 BxU difference between the center reading and the upper right corner when this lens is measured at f/5.6. How much is that? Simple. A BxU has been defined as the equivalent of one "Blur More" function in Photoshop. So, it's easy to see for yourself how much this represents visually by simply loading an image into Photoshop and selecting Filter / Blur / Blur More. The change that you see is +1 BxU.
The BxU is precise, can be repeatably measured, and is independent of resolution.
Another way to visualize it is that a perfect circle formed by a point of light would have a BxU of 0.
In all, 17 areas of the screen are measured, and as can be seen from the second chart these areas are identified with numbers for 1-17, and are found by spiraling from upper right to upper left, then down and around. Each square shows the BxU measurement in its area, and in the center square (#0) we have a measurement for the center of the image area. These numbers are the same as shown in the orange table above except that the rest of the image's measurements are also shown. This gives you a measure of how even any lenses' performance is at 17 locations within its field of coverage.
