Introduction of Automotive industry Camera Test Solutions

With the increasing number of automobile camera system applications such as Camera Monitor Systems, Advanced Driver Assist Systems and Mirror Replacements, the automotive industry has to test and meet a wide variety of image quality standards. Factors to test include dynamic range, long range focus, contrast resolution, flicker, flare, and sharpness. We can provide the necessary solutions, including charts, equipment, and software to test these factors. We also understand that not everyone’s testing needs are the same. That is why we are always standing by to help you design the solution that is best for you.

Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS)

ADAS systems typically contain forward facing camera systems that rapidly analyze oncoming and nearby objects. The lenses on these cameras focus at along-rangeto maximize the sensitivity of the system. Unfortunately, this complicates the testing process generally because of the limitations in lab size. Specialized equipment is therefore required to test the image quality at the needed distances. Key image quality factors to be tested include:

1. Geometric calibration
2. Contrast resolution
3. Flare (ISO 18844)
4. Sharpness
5. Noise
6. Dynamic Range

Rearview and Surround-View Camera Systems

The Rear View and the Surround-Viewof the carcamera typically have significant fish-eye distortion. Some cameras have a greater field of view (FOV) and angel. A panoramic camera system based on the technology which includes a plurality of cameras of front view, side view and rear view. This requires the application of a distortion correction algorithm, and the combination of multiple images, in order to naturally display the image of the surrounding of the vehicle. The pre-distortion SFR-plus test chart is suitable for distortion and sharpness testing of wide-angle lenses. For ultra-wide-angle cameras, dedicated SFR-reg test charts and ultra-wide-angle sharpness analysis camera devices can also be analyze for analytical testing.

Key image quality factors to be tested include:

1. Geometric calibration
2. Contrast resolution
3. Flare (ISO 18844)
4. Sharpness
5. Noise
6. Dynamic Range
7. Color Accuracy

Mirror Replacement/Camera Monitor Systems (CMS)

Camera Monitor Systems are challenging to test because several factors in the multi-camera, multi-step process need to be set up correctly. Though the majority of the image quality factors are important, sharpness, contrast resolution, and color accuracy are of the highest importance.
Our solution supports the ISO 16505 test charts and measurements and also offers several improvements to the standard.

Driver Attention Monitor

Driver Attention Monitoring Systems are designed to quickly analyze the driver’s face and eye position to determine their attention to the road in front of them. To provide accurate warnings to drowsy or distracted drivers, these monitoring systems require high precision imaging to follow the driver in different light environments.
Using our unique charts and our industry-leading software, you can ensure your cameras will have the necessary quality for your computer vision algorithms to perform optimally.

The following are commonly used for the Automotive Camera Industry Test Solutions (Click here to view the Panorama view of the Lab):

Common Test Equipment's	Testing Software and Test Charts
LE001 Reflective Lighting Source It is use for reflective test charts and commonly used to test the multiple factors like distortion, auto white balance, resolution and other parameters too.	Imatest Testing Software It is used to analyze a series of image quality parameters, and supports a variety of test charts and international test standards.
ADAS Camera Test System Variable focal length parallel light tube principle MTF test stand that automatically changes the position of the field of view, allowing the customer to customize the test position.	Pre-Distortion Test Chart The Pre-Distortion SFRplus test chart is used for wide-angle lens, testing of FOVs up to 150 degree. Also, we can analyze some other parameters such as resolution, distortion, lateral chromatic aberration, etc.
Modular Test Chart Mounting Systems The neutral grey center panel is a necessary equipment in imaging test as a benchmark for automatic camera balance and exposure. It is divided into manual and automatic configurations. It also offers the greatest efficiency and versatility of any chart mounting system.	High Stress Target Test Chart High Stress Target Test Chart, is used for the extreme temperature and humidity measurements. The base material is aluminum substrate with colored ceramic color blocks, just to protect against the harsh environment and temperature.
Automatic Test Chart Selector Automatic Test Chart Selector is convenient for placing test charts of various sizes and models. It is also divided into various configurations such as manual switching and fully automatic switching. It basically helps to improve testing system efficiency and accuracy.	Contrast and Resolution Test Chart A new test chart for wide dynamic range testing recommended by Imatest at the IEEE P2020 Automotive Imaging Standards Conference which is use for contrast, resolution and other test factors.
100,000 Lux Standard Light Source This source has an illumination of more than 100,000 lux and is used to test wide dynamic range testing of greater light applications with the use of 120dB or 150dB dynamic range test chart.	36-Patch Dynamic Range Test Charts These targets have 36 low-noise density patches and density ranges exceeding 50dB, 100dB and 150dB. The three options fulfill needs for Low, Wide, and Ultra-High Dynamic Range systems.
Shpherical Light Source Spherical light sources can be used to test the brightness and uniformity of super wide-angle cameras and panoramic cameras. The maximum FOV is over 270~300 degrees and it can be customize as well.	Backlit ISO 18844 Flare Test Chart The test chart is used to test the flare in imaging system according to the ISO 18844 standard.
Low-light Ultra-Wide-Angle Test Equipment The internal environment can simulate Lux illumination. SFRreg test chart and color chart can be configured to effectively analyze the sharpness and color accuracy of wide-angle camera.	Camera Monitor Test Chart According to the ISO 16505 standard, CMS clarity, color accuracy, distortion, and noise can be accurately test through this chart.
Camera Automation Test System Fully automatic camera functional testing, stress testing, API testing, shooting performance testing, image quality testing, and so on.	Arbitrary Test Chart Imatest 5.0, Customize your own chart layout to combine all the image quality factors for analysis on one chart. It significantly reduce the number of images which needed to complete the testing process.
120° Collimator Lens It also known as close-up lens. With the use of collimator or optics can change the distance with respect to the object.	SFRreg Resolution Test Chart This main application of this test chart is to analyze long-distance testing, wide-angle testing and AF testing.
