The Imatest MTS Reflective Module integrates with our Modular Test Stand Base Module and one or both of the following lights:

• the KinoFlo LED Lighting System for testing in visible light or
• the Metaphase 850nm or 940nm IR ExoLight v2.0 for testing in NIR.

This fixture provides the basic setup for a test lab to perform image quality tests with reflective lighting.

• Easily and reliably illuminate reflective test charts for efficient testing and robust measurements.
• High-quality hardware allows you to effortlessly position the LED lights
• Angle and position markers help you record light bank locations for future testing. 

The Base Module, Target, KinoFlo or Metaphase Lights are sold separately from the Reflective Module.

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…)

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.
