Introduction
The iQ-Analyzer-X introduces the next generation of image quality evaluation. In this iteration of the software, we’ve built entirely on C++ and introduced new AI-powered tools to create an exceptionally modern and advanced camera analysis software for professionals looking to improve the image quality testing of their image capture systems.
This software is ideal for camera and sensor developers during end-of-line testing who are looking to understand how their systems perform against a variety of image quality performance factors, including resolution (SFR), texture loss, dynamic range (OECF), color accuracy, lens distortion, shading, flare, low-light, and noise.
In previous versions, we relied on Mathworks Mathlab, which often limited our flexibility. Using C++ has increased workflow flexibility and allowed us to design an advanced, user-friendly interface. It also allows us to create script interfaces and access low-level APIs.
In addition to a more balanced and flexible user interface, we have introduced AI-powered test chart detection tools to enhance the speed and accuracy of image quality analysis. Captured results are quickly identified, and the target features and ROIs (regions of interest) are analyzed. Results and testing parameters can be stored in a local or server-based database for test result comparisons across labs and future evaluations.
The software can work with image and video files, including files from external webcams, integrated cameras, live streams, and capture servers. It also offers automation features such as hot folders and command-line interfaces to improve testing efficiency further.
The iQ-Analyzer-X is compatible with numerous test charts, including our TE42 multipurpose series and custom-made charts. Using a TE42 multipurpose chart with the iQ-Analyzer-X creates a high-speed analysis solution, as you can analyze multiple image quality factors in a single test image.
Features
The iQ-Analyzer-X supports a large variety of test charts, including custom-made and multipurpose test charts.
The iQ-Analyzer-X can evaluate all of the important KPIs of a camera, including resolution, texture loss, color, dynamic range, etc.
The iQ-Analyzer-X offers many automated tools for improving workflow efficiency, including AI-powered chart detection, hot folders, and a command-line interface.
Analyze camera performance based on a variety of international standards, including ISO, IEEE, and VCX.

2 The Pro version includes a one-year Maintenance Package that entitles you to all of the version upgrades as they become available. You also receive priority email/phone support and one free chart layout file.
3 Compatible charts include: UTT, TE258 (IT8), DT NGT2, IAM 9C, TE188, TE230.
Pro version details
When you purchase a Professional license, you will receive a USB dongle token for your license. You can install the iQ-Analyzer-X on an unlimited number of devices and then connect the USB Dongle to run the software. The network license feature allows you to connect the dongle to a host PC, and then the software can run on any device that has access to the host PC.
In addition, you will receive a one-year maintenance package. This package entitles you to all the version upgrades as they become available in your maintenance year. After your maintenance package concludes, you can continue using the iQ-Analyzer-X indefinitely; however, you cannot upgrade to future versions. If you wish to continue upgrading after one year, you can purchase additional maintenance years (multiple years can also be bought during the initial purchase) for a reduced price of €1,100.
Please contact our sales team for more details.
iQ-Analyzer-X CH
The Cultural Heritage (CH) version of the iQ-Analyzer-X is a special version for archiving professionals who document and preserve our past. It is based on the Pro version, but only the analysis of UTT and color charts or targets is possible using an adapted dongle. Combining these test charts and the software provides a powerful solution for evaluating the image quality of scanners and other devices to create digital replications of documents, photographs, and other reflective media.
The iQ-Analyzer-X CH is less expensive than the full standard version iQ-Analyzer-X PRO as it is limited to the requirements of the cultural heritage industry.
If you would like to try the CH version, download the free version and perform a UTT or color chart analysis with our sample images. Please note that your dongle will limit you to these charts once you purchase it.
Contact our sales team for more information.
Solectrix Partnership
iQ-Analyzer-X is now available in SXIVE 2.0 thanks to our recent partnership with Solectrix GmbH. SXIVE (Simplified eXtensive Image and Video Engine) is a comprehensive image prototyping solution for image processing and analysis requirements, including instant prototyping, development, and sensor and ISP evaluations. It also provides modular reference platforms, is test-drive-ready, and is suitable for acceptance tests.
