Comprehensive image quality testing.
Test everything from sharpness and distortion to color and illumination with Imatest Master.
Version 25.1
- Simatest simulates complete camera systems, including the effects of lens degradations, image sensor noise model, 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.
- Apple Silicon Support: Native support for the latest MacOS.
- Open With Imatest: Open files directly from Windows Explorer and MacOS Finder into Imatest Master.
- Improved Console Panel layout with docking and full-screen options.
- New UI Settings page to easily manage user interface preferences.
- Improved Image Preview with the ability to navigate to another image using the left and right navigation buttons without leaving image preview.
- Documentation of Outputs: New web page and Excel sheets documenting JSON outputs for distortion and sharpness measurements along with Concentric Rings and Stray Light results.
- Concentric Rings FOV: Measure optical distortion, documentation of results.
- Stray Light: Extract metadata from filename, custom luminance weights, calculate IEEE 2020-2024 Flare Method B Mask radius, documentation of results.
- Checkerboard: limit distortion to image circle, information on extrapolation region.

R&D Solutions:
- Analyze over 30 popular test charts with different features for color, tone, sharpness, noise and many other image quality factors.
- Faster, more efficient and more reliable than creating in-house software.
- Direct image acquisition cuts out several steps in the image quality testing process.
- Continuous reload and analysis enables real-time viewing of parameter adjustments on various aspects of system performance.
- Test for a variety of image quality factors at once using SFRplus or eSFR ISO, and reduce the amount of time spent switching between charts

Featured Modules:
- Simatest: Camera / ISP Simulator
- SFRplus: Assess many image quality factors using one specially designed test chart.
- eSFR ISO: Assess many image quality factors from enhanced versions of the ISO 12233:2014 test chart.
- SFR: Inspect any slanted edge feature.
- Multicharts: Analyze color, tone, and noise from a wide variety of test charts.
- Rescharts: Evaluates several resolution test charts.
- Dot Pattern: Measure distortion and lateral chromatic aberration using a dot chart. The calculation is CPIQ-compliant.
- Even Field Test: Detect blemishes and defective pixels on the sensor and measures color and illumination uniformity.
