A vast number of books are filled in bookshelves spanning the entire wall of a large room. The image is taken such that the books’ spines can be seen, which makes it suitable for directly evaluating the resolution of the display equipment. Also, because there are spot illuminations in addition to general illumination, the luminosity in each region of the shelves differs. Thus, the image can be also used to evaluate the display equipment’s presentation of dark areas through readability in those areas. The image is also useful for evaluating the effects of degradation such as blurriness, aliasing, ringing, and quantization distortion, which noticeably appears in the lettering areas.

This is an image of a moss-covered garden. Because entire composition has depth and contains detailed textures, it is well-suited for evaluating the sense of realness and immersion based on the screen size and image resolution. Elements in the image such as the moss’s sharpness and tones, the textures of the rock and tree surfaces, and the edges of leaves and grass are also useful for evaluating degradation such as blurriness, aliasing, ringing, and quantization distortion due to image processing. The veins on the surface of leaves, as well as moss and leaves in dark areas such as shades cast by rocks, are also well-suited for assessing degradation due to image encoding and other processing.

This image captures stained glass that includes detailed parts. Because it also includes detailed textures along with light and dark areas, the image is well-suited for evaluating degradation of details due to image processing and image encoding, as well as corruption of gradation and color tones. It is also useful for reproducing wide-color gamut, including the stained glass’s red, yellow, green, and cyan, and for evaluating the columns’ black reproducibility. Because the image also contains detailed lettering, it can be used to evaluate readability and degradation of characters due to resolution conversion and image processing.

This image captures a model ship, flowers, and a doll against a blue background. It is particularly well-suited for assessing chroma key processing. Because a shallow depth of field was used in photographing the image, various blurry edges are included. The image also contains objects that make chroma key processing difficult, such as the glass filled with water and the doll’s lace. All this makes the image especially useful for evaluating the performance of chroma key processing.

This is a wide-color-gamut image in which numerous multi-colored flowers are laid out without any gaps. It contains mainly colors outside HDTV’s color gamut. The image is well-suited for evaluating reproduction of wide-color gamut and assessing tones. The contrast between the shaded area in the lower right corner of the image and the flowers can be used to evaluate the display's presentation of dark areas. The detailed texture of the petals is also suitable for evaluating the capacity for lifelike image quality of the display's image size and resolution.
