by Meg Borek We should be designing more equitable cameras. I recently tested a variety of webcam and smartphone devices […]

Have a virtual visit to our booth and read the papers we published to advanced imaging science.

Sarah Kerr gives recommendations for reliably detecting and analyzing the new “slanted star” e-SFR feature introduced in ISO 12233:2023, which adds sagittal and tangential edge orientations — addressing ROI-placement and cross-orientation comparison challenges through simulation and experimentally validated results.

Orit Skorka (onsemi) and Imatest co-authors evaluate signal and noise metrics for high-dynamic-range automotive image sensors using the IEEE P2020 methodology, showing how the photon-transfer-curve (PTC) test and its derivatives must be adapted from legacy standard-dynamic-range procedures (e.g., EMVA 1288) to HDR sensor modes.

Skydio reached out to Imatest for an independent, objective comparison of different manufacturers’ drones. Our focus was on critical aspects […]
