Test charts are ideal for evaluating digital cameras and other objective measurements, but some aspects of camera testing require real-world scenes with real objects rather than just test targets. One of these aspects is the proper white balancing for different illuminants. Another is determining the loss of visual detail due to noise reduction or the level of noise in an image.
You can, of course, do tests with real scenes for yourself, but how to make these tests comparable over time, with the same test conditions? Or between different work groups from different parts of the world?
To address these challenges, we have developed the lightSTUDIO to enable this type of visual analysis. It provides standard lighting types and is large enough to illuminate an entire tabletop scene. It also allows remote control and light dimming from a PC via a USB interface.
The lightSTUDIO always includes the same interior objects (see picture to the right) to enable a more accurate global test comparison across labs. Each object was carefully selected based on our camera-testing experience and can provide useful information about your camera system.
The lightSTUDIO, with its interior objects and switchable light sources, has become one of our top-selling products for image quality analysis. It has become an industry standard for camera test scenes.
