Imatest introduces its new Wide Field of View (WFOV) Module, which is an easy-to-use platform for testing sharpness in cameras with FOV up to 200º. This solution integrates with the Modular Test Stand and features three rail systems for easy positioning and mounting of camera devices, peripheral test targets, and Kino Flo LED panels. The main chart holder accommodates a variety of different test charts; mounting points for Isolight Pucks enable easy measurement of lighting brightness and color uniformity. (more…)

Image Quality Testing for Webcams
Webcams are an increasingly vital tool for working remotely and staying connected with friends and loved ones. As such, webcam sales have experienced significant growth. We all know good and bad quality images when we see them, but quantifying a camera’s performance is critical for making design choices, sourcing components, and performing quality control. Developing these devices presents challenges common to the development of consumer cameras. (more…)
Imatest Asia Pacific Remote Training
Imatest is offering a two-day training course to professionals using or considering Imatest software to improve their image quality testing processes. In light of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, these courses will be held remotely.
Two-Day Remote Training Course
The training course offers attendees insight into the capabilities of Imatest software in both research and development and manufacturing environments.
After taking this course, you will have:
- An understanding of key image quality factors
- Practical knowledge of how to apply Imatest software to measure the factors
- An overview of how to set up and tailor your test lab for accurate measurements
It is highly recommended you have a basic understanding of how cameras work (see recommended prerequisites). A detailed training schedule is also available.

Correcting Misleading Image Quality Measurements
We discuss several common image quality measurements that are often misinterpreted, so that bad images are falsely interpreted as good, and we describe how to obtain valid measurements.
Sharpness, which is measured by MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curves, is frequently summarized by MTF50 (the spatial frequency where MTF falls to half its low frequency value).
Describing and Sampling the LED Flicker Signal
High-frequency flickering light sources such as pulse-width modulated LEDs can cause image sensors to record incorrect levels. We describe a model with a loose set of assumptions (encompassing multi-exposure HDR schemes) which can be used to define the Flicker Signal, a continuous function of time based on the phase relationship between the light source and exposure window. (more…)
Validation Methods for Geometric Camera Calibration
Camera-based advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) require the mapping from image coordinates into world coordinates to be known. The process of computing that mapping is geometric calibration. This paper provides a series of tests that may be used to assess the goodness of the geometric calibration
Imatest Releases Version 2020.1
Imatest, a global image quality testing solution provider, is pleased to announce Imatest 2020.1 that adds new features on top of the major enhancements made in version 5.2. This new release further enhances the software with stability updates and regular improvements. See the Imatest Change Log for details.
