We report image resolution measurement of an aerial image based on the slanted edge method. From the slanted edge image, edge spread function (ESF) is calculated by projecting the profile with some methods. We have compared three projecting method to obtain ESF. Furthermore, the proposed method is utilized for AIRR.
