Automatic Chart Identification

The new automatic chart identification feature automatically identifies the chart type upon uploading an image. This is advantageous for working with large amounts of images, as it allows users to expedite the analysis options tab. In addition, this feature may help those who are new to the software or are unfamiliar with our charts.

Slanted edge sharpness support for ISO 12233 standards

Imatest 22.1 release includes SFR settings options to support forthcoming IEEE P2020 and ISO-12233 standards. There are two new options that can be used for SFR Settings to control the Edge SFR Algorithm: Imatest 22.1 (recommended), and ISO 12233:2022 (draft). Both options utilize the Tukey window and 5th order polynomial fitting for accurate results.
