Simatest Camera & ISP Simulator
Simatest simulates complete camera systems, including the effects of lens degradations, image sensor noise, and ISP pipelines, enabling all important image quality factors (KPIs) to be predicted. It includes a large set of ISP processing blocks that can be applied in arbitrary order.Includes Image Sensor Noise Model analysis. The model estimates temporal and fixed pattern noise from a single Bayer RAW image for color/tone noise analysis, using a three-component model (dark, shot, and fixed pattern noise).
Interface Improvements
- Open With Imatest: Open files directly from Windows Explorer and MacOS Finder into Imatest Master.
- New direct links to the Imatest Store for most analysis targets to easily view Imatest’s chart offerings.
- Improved Console Panel layout with docking and full-screen options.
- New UI Settings page to easily manage user interface preferences.
- Imatest Master now respects operating system-preferred applications when opening files and images.
- Improved Image Preview with the ability to navigate to another image using the left and right navigation buttons without leaving image preview.
Settings Improvements
- The Settings page has been reorganized with easier access to Imatest Master analysis settings, a new “Save + Re-Analyze” button, performance improvements, and a better search experience.
- IT and Pass Fail Settings can now be edited using the new Settings Window.
Documentation of Outputs
- New web page and Excel sheets documenting JSON outputs for distortion and sharpness measurements.
- Concentric Rings module results.
- Stray Light module results.
Apple Silicon Support
Previously, Apple Silicon Macs were supported through the Rosetta 2 emulation layer, which slowed down performance.Now, we offer a MacOS silicon build with improved performance.
Other Improvements
Concentric Rings FOV
- Measure optical distortion: New Plot and output for Optical Distortion %
- Regmark detection default is now ML/CV
- Documentation of results.
Stray Light
- Ability to extract select metadata from a filename via regular expression.
- Support for custom RGB Luminance weights.
- Ability to calculate the IEEE Std. P2020 Flare Method B mask radius.
- Additional tuning options for image processing based masking.
- Documentation of results.
Batchview
- Allow multiple parameters plots to be combined into single plots.
- Addition of information metrics C_4, C_max, SNRi for 2x8 pixel object, edge location standard deviation (sigma).
- Option to plot vertical axis logarithmically.
- Improved automatic scaling, global & local scaling, manual scaling.
- Plot from zero-max or min-max.
Minor Features
- Checkerboard: Ability to limit Distortion measurements to the image circle.
- Checkerboard: includes information on the extrapolation region for distortion measurements.
- Color/Tone: eSFR ISO Color now has automatic detection and ROI placement.
- Color/Tone: Rezchecker default reference file has been updated from glossy to matte. The previous default reference file can be downloaded for Matte and Glossy targets.
- New Luminance Settings: for ITU-R BT.601-7, ITU-R BT.709-6/IEC 61966-2-1, ITU-R BT.2020-2, or user specified in stray light.
- Sharpness Modules: Now include option to include edge spread function (ESF) and line spread function (LSF) data in JSON results.
- Sharpness Modules: Interpolated SFR data has been added to Multi-region CSV summary file results.
- Rescharts/colortone/flatfield modules: have Updated default save files from “CSV summary file” to “Multi-region CSV summary file” and “JSON Summary file”.
