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.

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.

More and more image processing is taking place directly on edge devices. As a result, the demands placed on intelligent vision systems continue to grow, as do the requirements for the image data on which their decisions are based. Through our membership in the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, we contribute our expertise in image quality and camera testing to an international community.

Modern vehicles no longer observe only their surroundings. Driver and Occupant Monitoring Systems (DMS/OMS) analyze what happens inside the cabin, from gaze direction and driver drowsiness to occupant position and behavior. Many of these systems rely on invisible NIR illumination. To ensure reliable performance, they must also be tested under those exact conditions.

Resolution, noise, and dynamic range can be measured with great precision. But at what point do changes actually become visible to people, and when are images still considered acceptable? A recent study investigates how different image quality parameters are perceived and shows how technical measurements can be linked to human evaluation.
