A unique test chart designed for the Vega illumination device
The TE299 color test chart was developed for high-precision color measurements and is particularly suitable for evaluating camera systems in the automotive sector, such as driver assistance systems or surround-view cameras. It was specifically designed for use with the Vega light source to ensure reproducible and stable measurement results.
The test chart consists of 25 color patches based on the structure of the X-Rite ColorChecker SG, though they are not identical. It includes three patches with grayscale levels, the primary colors RGB and CMY, and 16 mixed color patches. Each color patch measures 12 × 12 mm and has been individually measured. The exact color values are provided in a separate “Acceptance Protocol” to ensure a precise reference for camera calibration and color analysis.
The TE299 can be used to verify the color accuracy, white balance and image processing of automotive camera systems under defined lighting conditions.
We also offer a few chart variations apart from the color chart. Don't hesitate to contact our sales team for more details.
Please note that the TE299 charts are always sold separately from the Vega light source.

Chart sizes
The test charts are available in the sizes listed below. Please note that some charts cannot be manufactured in all sizes due to technical reasons. Please do not hesitate to ask for additional information.
During production, specific regions of test charts are measured to qualify the production process or to create individual reference data accompanying a test chart additionally. Measured regions can be color or gray tones.
The measurement devices are calibrated regularly and proven before use. You can find further information in our reference data accuracy sheet.
