From Measurement to Requirements: How IEC 62676-5 is Evolving

Objective measurements are important. Defining the level of performance a camera must actually achieve is equally as important. The ongoing revision of IEC 62676-5 expands the focus from just measurement methods to application-specific performance requirements for professional security cameras.

Did You Know? Reference Charts Age Too

Objective image quality measurements rely on dependable references. Yet while cameras, lighting systems, and test setups are regularly checked, one important factor is often overlooked: the test chart. Reference charts age over time and the aging process can affect the validity of measurement results. You can find the recommended replacement date on the back of your test chart.

What Happens When You Look Away During a Video Call?

People rarely sit perfectly still during video conferences. They glance at a second screen, take notes, or briefly turn toward someone else in the room. For webcams, this presents a challenge: they must maintain consistent image quality and respond reliably when a face returns to view. But how can this behavior be measured objectively?

Reliable Resolution Measurements Under High Image Noise Conditions

Resolution assessment is one of the most important methods for camera characterization. During its analysis, one question often arises: does a resolution measurement remain meaningful when the image is heavily affected by noise? High noise levels make it more difficult to evaluate the actual detail reproduction capabilities of a camera system. A recent study conducted as part of ISO standardization activities demonstrates that the Siemens-star MTF10 value continues to represent the visually perceived resolution limit reliably, even under these conditions.

Objective Flare Measurement for Modern Camera Systems

Stray light can significantly affect camera performance, particularly in demanding lighting conditions. To reliably compare and evaluate cameras under such circumstances, reproducible measurement methods are essential. The FLARE System combines controlled illumination, precise positioning, and automated analysis into a standardized workflow for flare characterization.
