Modulation transfer function (MTF) evaluation in the imaging of the optical lenses with poorly corrected geometric distortion involves sampling region of interest (ROI) images that are affected by geometric distortion, reducing its accuracy. A based liquid-crystal-device MTF (LMTF) method is proposed for this purpose by evaluating MTF of the medical rigid endoscope. This method establishes a mathematical model of geometric distortion and analyzes two sampling ROI image manners in MTF evaluation. Compared with the distortion factor (DF) manner, the distortion correction manner relaxes the value of the DF to twice the maximum non-distortion value, extends the sampling ROI image to twice the size, reduces the average RRMSE value to 6%, and improves average accuracy on MTF by 1.2%. The experimental results provide good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Therefore, the proposed LMTF method can be referential for the other optical lenses with poorly corrected distortion.
