We are pleased to announce that we will return to the IS&T Electronic Imaging conference in 2018, to take place from January 28 – February 1 in Burlingame, CA. The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport and will feature 20 technical conferences covering a variety of electronic imaging topics, ranging “from image sensing to display and hardcopy to machine vision in use in transportation systems” (Electronic Imaging).

We will have a booth in the exhibition hall and will be demonstrating our software and test charts. Please contact us to meet with our image quality experts. 

Additionally, Norman Koren will be presenting his paper, “Measuring the impact of flare lighting on dynamic range” on Monday, January 29, 2018 at 3:30 pm. 

The dynamic range of recent HDR image sensors, defined as the range of exposure between saturation and 0 dB SNR, can be extremely high: 120 dB or more. But the dynamic range of real imaging systems is limited by veiling glare (flare light), arising from reflections inside the lens, and hence rarely approaches this level. Veiling glare measurements, such as ISO 18844, made with black cavities on white fields, result in large numbers that are difficult to relate to dynamic range. Camera dynamic range is typically measured from grayscale charts, where veiling glare depends on the design and layout of the chart, leading to inconsistent results. We discuss the interaction between veiling glare and dynamic range measurements and the need for standardization of test conditions. We also propose a new dynamic range definition and a new test chart design for directly measuring the visibility of low contrast features over a wide range of scene brightness, which is important for real-world applications, especially in the automotive and security industries where the visibility of people and obstacles in shadow regions is critical. Unlike standard grayscale charts, the new test chart provides meaningful results when tone mapping is applied.

Over the last few years, the automotive industry has taken great strides to incorporate camera systems into vehicles. From ADAS to rear-view cameras, there are many applications for camera systems in vehicles. 

With this integration of camera systems in the automotive industry, companies now have a variety of image quality factors to verify and standards to adhere to.  

Imatest is a leader in image quality testing solutions for the automotive industry. Join us for this free webinar to learn more about image quality testing in the automotive industry.

During this webinar, you can expect to learn:

• An introduction to image quality factors and industry standards

• What image quality factors matter most to the automotive industry

• An overview of tests to deploy for automotive camera systems

• How to begin testing your camera systems

For many engineers tasked with designing camera systems for a product, image quality testing is a complicated endeavour given the variety of test charts and measurements available. 

Understanding which image quality factors to measure in your product and how to interpret results will ensure your product is equipped with quality imaging systems. (more…)

Register online to join us on Sept 11 – 12 2014 for our two-day training course.

Following this class, the next San Jose training class will be on February 23 – 24,   2015

The week before the conference, we invite you to join us for our two day Imatest Training Class taught by Norman Koren, creator of Imatest. This will be happening at the Larkspur Landing in Campbell (near Cupertino) on January 29 & 30. Both days run 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m, but usually goes later for additional questions & answers.   You can register online or contact sales@imatest.com with questions.

The following week, on D we will be having a booth at Electronic Imaging 2014.    This will be held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.  Our booth will be staffed by our stable of Imaging Scientists, we will be giving live demonstrations of real-time camera testing.

We hope to see you there!

This event is passed.  Thanks for your interest.  

We’ll be back in Silicon Valley early next year for Electronic Imaging 2014

Join us for a free presentation & demonstration of Imatest Software tools for testing image quality on October 23 from 2:30 – 5:30PM.

The presentation will last about one hour with informal questions & answers afterwards.   We will be serving drinks and snacks.

The presentation will be held at the Larkspur Landing in Sunnyvale
