Influence of the Light Source on the Image Sensor Characterization according to EMVA 1288

Machine‑vision systems rely on accurate sensor characterization, yet the EMVA 1288 standard’s use of monochrome illumination raises important questions about real‑world comparability. This study examines how different light sources influence key measurement results and shows that only quantum efficiency and related parameters are affected. Using broadband illumination can therefore offer more practical insight into application‑specific performance.
