Imatest background
Imatest was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 2004 to develop software for testing digital camera image quality and lens sharpness using simple, widely-available targets. It has been adopted by a wide range of industries and academic/cultural institutions. It is a spinoff of the highly informative digital photography website, www.normankoren.com.
Norman Koren, the founder and president, has been involved with photography since 1964. He holds a AB in physics from Brown University and an MA in physics from Wayne State University. His previous career in magnetic recording technology has provided him with an outstanding background for image quality analysis. He has received seven U.S. patents.
In May 2005 Norman was on a panel on the future of cameras at the MIT Symposium on Computational Photography and Video. In January 2006 he delivered a paper on Imatest at the Electronic Imaging conference. He authored Appendix C, Video Acquisition Measurement Methods (pp. 91-125), of the Public Safety SoR (Statement of Requirements) volume II v 1.0 (6 MB download), released by SAFECOM, prepared by ITS (a division of NTIA, U.S. Department of Commerce). No credit is given, but details of many Imatest algorithms are included. |
