Abstract
The modulation transfer function (MTF) of 22 paper samples is computed using Monte Carlo simulations with isotropic or strongly forward single scattering. The inverse frequency at half maximum of the MTF (kp) is found inappropriate as a single metric for the MTF since it is insensitive to the shape of the modeled and simulated MTF. The single scattering phase function has a significant impact on the shape of the MTF, leading to more lateral scattering. However, anisotropic single scattering cannot explain the larger lateral scattering observed in paper. It is argued that the directional inhomogeneity of paper requires a light scattering model with both the phase function and scattering distances being dependent on the absolute direction.
