(a) Number of frames needed to achieve a 10% r.m.s. accuracy of contrast determination given Npixel = 64 × 64. (b) Extracted contrast values from the three algorithms (LSF, GG and PPC) versus the real contrasts at a fixed count rate photons per pixel. The gray dashed line indicates the correct solution. The slopes for the three fitted lines for the extracted contrasts using LSF, GG and PPC are 1.2 ± 0.1, 0.93 ± 0.09 and 0.72 ± 0.07, respectively. |
