Imatest has several two-dimensional displays for comparing test chart reference (ideal) colors with measured (camera) colors, where reference colors are represented by squares and measured values are represented by circles. (more…)
Imatest has released Version 4.2. New features include:
SFRreg Module: Analyze a camera’s Spatial Frequency Response (sharpness) using automatically-detected slanted edges in registration mark patterns, which can be arbitrarily placed in a camera’s field of view. (more…)
Imatest version 4.2 is now available as a public beta. Join our Beta Test Group to access 4.2 updates. Highlights include:
- Point Spread Function (PSF): Imatest can now estimate an imaging system’s loss of resolution (PSF) using a pair of collocated, near-sagittal and tangential slanted edges on SFRplus, eSFR ISO and SFRreg targets. Easily analyze and improve sharpness, chromatic aberration, and distortion measurements. (more…)
The High Precision SFRplus Target for GL-30E Lightbox is our most detailed resolution target. You can test high-resolution devices in compact environments using one-third the space required for extra-large Inkjet charts.
New Photographic eSFR ISO
The ISO 12233:2014 Enhanced eSFR Photographic Target is our newest reflective test chart. Photographic prints have over twice the resolution of inkjet prints, making them more suitable for higher resolution camera systems like DSLRs. The photographic substrate will benefit customers interested in testing high-resolution sensors as well as those performing close-range macro tests. (more…)
New Feature: Imatest IT Parallel
Increasing testing throughput
The new Imatest Industrial Testing Parallel uses parallel processing to improve the throughput of Imatest IT and maximize the image processing power of your computing hardware. IT run in parallel enables up to 3x more throughput to support test equipment that requires a high volume of images to be analyzed. IT-P improves the PPH (parts per hour) on assembly lines.
Infrared Targets
Standard Imatest inkjet-printed test charts produced prior to February 2016 work in Near InfraRed (NIR) wavelengths out to approximately 1 micron.
In February 2016 we upgraded our printers and found (to our disappointment) that our new printers do not have the same reflective densities for NIR wavelengths as for visible wavelengths. We are working out solutions to this issue. Please contact us if your needs include NIR. (more…)
SFRplus and eSFR ISO share many similar features and can be used to perform many similar image quality analyses. However, some of their features differ, and understanding which features differ will help you select the most appropriate test chart to analyze your imaging systems. This video outlines key differences between SFRplus and eSFR ISO.
