IMAGE QUALITY VERIFICATION
Objective Testing
In our image quality lab, we check cameras with top-notch tools and clear steps to make sure they work great.
Subjective Testing
At the intersection of technology and perception lies our subjective testing methodology – a critical component of image quality verification that interprets how end-users will experience the visual output. Our sophisticated approach involves:
Performance KPI
Our evaluation of Performance KPIs sets the stage for superior camera functionality. Our comprehensive analysis lays the groundwork for subsequent optimization. Some examples:
Benchmarking
To define excellence, one must measure against the best. In our image quality verification process, benchmarking is a critical evaluation that establishes how tested cameras stack up in the competitive landscape. Through benchmarking, we:
IMAGE QUALITY TUNING
ISP
The core of the tuning begins with the precise characterization of the optical system, where we gather raw sensor data used to generate the Image Signal Processor (ISP) tuning configuration. Optimizing every processing block in the ISP is crucial to ensuring the highest quality of visual content for those who demand excellence.
The steps of the ISP tuning process, essential for transforming raw camera data into visually striking content.
3A (AF / AE / AWB)
The essential trio of Auto Focus, Exposure, and White Balance is fine-tuned to respond swiftly and accurately, guaranteeing the images are sharp, well exposed and color balanced in any lighting condition.
Automatically adjust the correct exposure without need of user input.
Image Processing Algorithms
Post-processing algorithms serve as optional yet complementary enhancements to the ISP output. They contribute significantly to the superior quality of the vision system output. We rigorously optimize these algorithms along with a full spectrum of tuning techniques to ensure every image meets the highest professional standards.
Peripherals
Our peripheral solutions are designed to complement your camera system, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging conditions. These enhancements prevent common issues such as poor lighting and unstable imaging, guaranteeing that no moment is lost. By integrating advanced peripheral technologies, we enhance the camera’s ability to capture every detail with precision, regardless of the external environment.
We intelligently regulate fill light with our fine-tuned flash systems, ensuring each photograph has the perfect balance of light and shadow, enhancing both the clarity and depth of your images.
Giving consistent, natural-looking videos and smooth adaptation.
Improves focus speed and precision in challenging condition where traditional contrast focus fails.
Enhances image clarity by compensating for camera shake and vibrations, ensuring sharp, focused images even in unstable or dynamic shooting conditions.
CAMERA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Behind every great camera, there is sophisticated software driving its performance. We specialize in creating and refining the digital components that empower cameras to capture the world with stunning clarity:
Low Level Drivers
These are the essential bits of code that enable the camera’s hardware and operating system to communicate smoothly. We develop drivers that ensure your camera’s features are fully accessible and operating at peak performance.
ISP FW Customization
The Image Signal Processor (ISP) firmware (FW) defines the image pipeline and steps needed to convert raw data into a useful image. FW customization can improve processing time, enable or enhance advanced features, such as high dynamic range imaging and noise reduction, resulting in a richer and more vibrant image output.
Image Post-Processing Algorithms Implementation
We can integrate algorithms into the camera’s software, ensuring that each image is automatically polished to perfection with advanced processing techniques like sharpening, color grading, and exposure correction.
Test
Automation
Speed and reliability in testing are crucial. We automate the testing of camera software to quickly find and fix bugs, and to accelerate the optimization process.
