Subjectimage density, log exposure (-target density) and pixel level
Message-ID<51c0a60e-9498-4d22-9f3d-3a63b85c12b0@googlegroups.com>
Hello, every body. I want to find the pixel level of the image. The image contains 6 gray scale squares with different intensity in each patch. I know the pixel level is given by

pixel level = 255 * (10–density/1.01)(1/2.2)

but I do not know how to find out the density. Finally I need to have a graph pixel level vs log exposure (-target density). Can any body also explain how can I find the log exposure (-target density). Thank you.

The pixel level you described (exposure) is an approximation of a gamma 
2.2 level system, closest to L* (Lightness), but not Lightness

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness>

see gamma ...,

Kinda depends on what you are working with ... calibration or 
characterization? sometimes calibration is "good enough" 
characterization ...

to answer your second question it looks like you already know the 
exposure (pixel density discussed above) ... invert equation for density

to answer you first question ... How do I find density? ... unless it is 
linear with exposure, or you have beforehand design knowledge of the 
system, you will have most likely have to measure

apologies gamma 1.8 instead of gamma 2.2 might be closer to L*  with 
white point of 5000K
