Autofocus plays a major role in many camera system applications with variable focus, including consumer electronic devices. Camera systems must be able to focus at a variety of distances. Optical systems on cameras only allow a certain range of distances from the camera to be in focus at once (this is often known as the depth of field, or depth of focus). (more…)
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…)

What is CPIQ?
IEEE-SA working group P1858 created the CPIQ standard. CPIQ seeks to standardize image quality test metrics and methodologies across the mobile device industry, correlate objective test results with human perception, and combine this data into a meaningful consumer rating system.

Imatest is pleased to announce the release of version 4.4, which includes the following features:
Support for all 2016 Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) standard metrics for mobile device image quality. CPIQ serves as a way to assess and communicate image quality to the vast majority of consumers who are unsure how to judge and compare device image quality. See a full CPIQ overview.
Auto-focus, Auto White Balance, and Auto Exposure (AAA) metrics for faster image adjustments. AAA metrics were created to address the video image quality aspects that most affect user experience.
We are pleased to announce Imatest 4.3. New features include:
-
- Support for Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) across all Imatest software
- Python API for IT for a simplified, flexible development environment
- SSIM module for estimating the loss of image quality caused by image processing, especially data compression
