ISO 15739 — Noise
Standard: ISO 15739:2017 — Photography — Electronic still-picture imaging— Noise measurements Technical Committee: ISO/TC 42 Photography Published: 2017-05 The Simplified ISO-15739 digital camera noise test chart is available from the Imatest Store. This chart can be analyzed by the Imatest Stepchart, Multicharts, and Multitest modules. Imatest 4.0+ includes a calculation of ISO 15739 visual noise as specified in Appendix B of the ISO 15739:2017 standard. And Imatest 4.4+ includes a calculation of visual noise from the IEEE CPIQ P1858 (Camera Phone Image Quality) 2016 specification, which is based on ISO 15739 with some added details. These are relatively complex […]
ISO 16505 — Camera Monitor Systems
Standard: ISO 16505:2015 Road vehicles — Ergonomic and performance aspects of Camera Monitor Systems — Requirements and test procedures. Technical Committee: ISO/TC 22/SC 35 Lighting and visibility Published: 2015-05-01 Test Targets ISO 16505 Test Targets are available for purchase on the Imatest Store. Test Methods Resolution References ISO 12233:2014. Hyperbolic wedge features can be analyzed by the Wedge or eSFR ISO module. Slanted edge features can be analyzed by the SFR, SFRplus, eSFR ISO, SFRreg, or Chekerboard modules. We presented a paper, “Measuring MTF with wedges: pitfalls and best practices” at the Multi-camera and Embedded Systems for Autonomous Machines […]

Dynamic Range
Dynamic Range (DR) is the range of exposure, i.e., scene brightness, over which a camera responds with good contrast and good Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This is a scene-dependent image quality factor that incorporates sensor sensitivity, noise, and stray light. High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes have a ratio between light and dark areas that exceeds 10,000:1 (80dB; 4.0 Optical Density; 13.3 f-stops). See below for how to achieve HDR imaging. Some examples of HDR Scenes: Mixed indoor/outdoor scene. Entering or exiting a tunnel or parking garage, A door or window open to the brightly lit outdoors, a shadowed area cast by […]

SFRplus Target on Chrome on Glass
This chart is produced with the highest precision process we have available. For more detailed information on the various processes by which we create our targets, please take a look at our Transmissive Chart Quality Comparison.
Chrome on Glass charts are uni-tone, have 10:1 contrast, and do not include a step-chart. This means that they do not support calculation of tonal response curves. The star pattern is strictly for use as a focusing aid, and is not intended as a testing feature (i.e., as a star chart).
- Lead Time: 4″ Plate or Smaller – 2 Weeks (MoQ – 1 Unit)
- Lead Time: 5″ Plate or Larger – 4-8 Weeks (MoQ 2 to 3 Units, size dependent)
Sinusoidal Siemens Star Target
The Sinusoidal Siemens Star test chart allows you to measure MTF and limiting resolution with a chart that provides angular response and may be less affected by signal processing (especially sharpening) than slanted-edges. Siemens star MTF20 (the spatial frequency where MTF is 20% of its low frequency value) is a good estimate of limiting resolution.
High Dynamic Range Target, ITI LED Lightbox
We are pleased to announce our new High Dynamic Range (HDR) test chart with a density range exceeding 120dB (optical density >6.0). This chart allows you to the measure the dynamic range, tonal response and noise of HDR cameras with a single image instead of multiple, exposure bracketed images. It also contains slanted edges for MTF measurements.
