Imatest 4.0 Release
Imatest October 2013 Newsletter
Imatest 3.10 Released
The latest version of Imatest has been optimized for speed and includes many improvements and new features. A new image stabilization module allows users to test the efficacy of a camera’s optical image stabilization (OIS). To see a rundown of all of the new additions to version 3.10, take a look at our blog detailing the release. (more…)
Imatest 3.10 Released
The release of version 3.10 of Imatest brings a host of improvements to make image quality testing faster and more relevant to advances in cameras. Look for performance, stability, interface and measurement improvements across the board as well as some excellent new modules and features.
New Features:
- An Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) module has been added to measure OIS effectiveness using images of the SFRplus chart. This module compares three images: unshaken, shaken without OIS, and shaken with OIS. It can also be used to compare SFRplus images from different imaging systems.
- The new Multitest module can analyze all of the color and grayscale charts supported by the interactive Multicharts module in a non-interactive mode that allows batch runs. (Multitest was called ColorTest in early 3.10 releases.)
- Five existing Rescharts modules─ Random (which supports the new “Spilled Coins” texture chart), Log F–Contrast, Wedge, Star (Siemens), and Any Image Sharpness ─ are now available as non-interactive modules that can be run in batches.
- New hue and saturation displays have been added to the Multicharts color accuracy, tonal response and noise modules.
- The new Random/Dead Leaves module provides stronger support for Dead Leaves-type texture charts, particularly for the new Imatest Spilled Coins chart, which is more uniform and has better scale-invariance resulting in more consistent measurements for different image sizes.

Imatest 3.9 Released
New features include:
- Support for high-speed manufacturing testing in the Imatest IT version
- Flat screen display testing via an improved Blemish Detect module
- Dynamic range testing with our new high precision transmissive 36 patch chart
- More robust SFRplus automated region detection, and improved Field of View and geometrical measurements
Find out more about Imatest 3.9, see a detailed list of enhancements, and contact us to renew your license.
Imatest Industrial Testing (IT) version
In the past year we have deployed Imatest IT on assembly lines in the mobile imaging industry supply chain, including camera module manufacturers and device assembly factories. Many performance, functionality and documentation enhancements have been added to ensure accurate high-speed assembly line testing. Contact us to learn more, or request a free trial license.
Test flat screen displays with Blemish Detect
Manufacturers can now use Blemish Detect to test displays in the lab and on assembly lines. Blemish Detect can test for stuck on/off pixels, luminance uniformity, and color uniformity. Testing can be done on any type of flat screen display – including smart phones, tablets, computer monitors, and large-screen TVs. Contact us to learn more.
High-precision Dynamic Range Test Target
This chart offers a wider dynamic range and low noise. Compared to the previous chart, this chart is easier to frame, easier to select regions, and will give more consistent exposures. It is also affected very little by light falloff of the lens.

December 2011 Newsletter: CPIQ Dot Pattern, 4:1 Contrast Charts
Imatest Supports I3A Camera Phone Image Quality Standards
Imatest now has strong support for I3A (International Imaging Industry Association) CPIQ (Camera Phone Image Quality) standards, including Lateral Chromatic Aberration and Distortion (in the new Dot Pattern module), Color Uniformity, and Acutance. Read more about Imatest’s I3A CPIQ Support.
The Dot Pattern module analyzes images of a dot pattern target (a Cartesian grid of circular dots) and estimates the optical distortion, SMIA-TV distortion, and the lateral chromatic aberration using the I3A CPIQ phase 2 standard methodology. (more…)
