Film Developer Parameter Estimation

MATLAB script for estimation of film/developer combination development times based on given combination samples.

Operation

Using given temperature and sensitivities, this script approximates the function time(sensitivity) using logarithmic fitting by finding optimum values alpha and beta such that

time(sensitivity) = sensitivity^alpha + 10^beta 

Example

An example result of Tri-X 400 in Xtol. The algorithm determined t(asa) = asa^0.20537 + 10^0.44103 for Xtol 1+1, which results in a development time of 6:10 for 400 ASA target sensitivity, 6:42 for 800 ASA etc.
