In 2024, Imatest greatly increased our image quality testing capabilities with significant advancements across software, hardware, charts, and solutions. We introduced software updates like versions 24.1 and 24.2, alongside the innovative Leader SFR-Fit. Hardware developments included a fully motorized modular test stand, advanced lighting systems, precision sensors, and magnetic chart holders. New chart designs such as the field-ruggedized target, diffuse reflectance LIDAR target, and diverse skin tone face targets enhanced testing precision. Imatest participated in key conferences like Autosens Europe and Electronic Imaging, showcasing solutions for LiDAR, drones, and test lab services. We released several posts exploring topics including light measurement, and endoscope testing, ensuring a comprehensive view of imaging technology trends.
