Kell Factor

The vertical definition of a scanned image is only around 70% (the Kell Factor) of the line count due to a scan’s inability to show detail occurring between the lines. Note that, for interlaced scans, vertical definition is further reduced by the Interlace Factor to 50% or less overall during most vertical image movement.
