ChartCreator 2.0 Pre-Distortion Chart Generation Platform

For wide-angle, fisheye, and multi-camera imaging system testing

---

Overview

As wide-angle and fisheye lenses become increasingly common in:

• automotive imaging
• surround-view systems
• drones
• smartphones
• robotics vision

traditional image quality charts often encounter distortion-related limitations.

Standard charts such as:

• eSFR
• checkerboard
• dot grid
• SFRreg

may become severely distorted near the image edge, affecting automated image quality analysis.

ChartCreator 2.0 is designed for pre-distortion chart generation and distortion-aware test chart design for ultra-wide imaging systems.

Why Pre-Distortion Charts Matter

Wide-angle and fisheye optics may introduce:

• barrel distortion
• ROI deformation
• edge feature compression

These effects can reduce the reliability of:

• MTF analysis
• edge sharpness evaluation
• distortion measurements

Pre-distorted chart generation helps compensate for optical distortion before image capture.

Industry Trends

As applications such as:

• ADAS
• surround-view imaging
• AR/VR
• robotics vision
• panoramic surveillance

continue growing, image quality evaluation is shifting toward:

full field-of-view consistency analysis.

This increases demand for:

• customized test charts
• pre-distortion compensation
• fisheye chart generation
