ASICFPGA has announced the release of ASICFPGA IQ Tool, a Windows program that measures the image quality of a camera
from a photo of a test chart.
The user only opens the photo: an AI recognises the chart, even when it is tilted or in a busy scene,
and places every measurement region by itself, so there is no chart type to choose and no region to draw by hand.
The results are shown with graphs and tables, and every mark on the picture can be clicked to see its own result.
We developed the program to tune our own camera ISP, and it is now available to camera, lens and sensor engineers.
Features of ASICFPGA IQ Tool:
AI chart recognition - no chart selection and no manual regions
Sharpness (slanted-edge MTF, Siemens stars, wedges), texture (dead leaves), noise, tone and dynamic range
Colour accuracy (ΔE00, chroma and hue errors, white balance)
Lens distortion, shading, chromatic aberration and flare
Shot check - tells the user when a photo should be taken again and why
Prints its own test charts (16 charts, 8x8 inch to A0) or shows them full screen on a monitor,
and also reads common commercial charts
A/B comparison of results, export to CSV, JSON and PNG
Windows 10 / 11, English, Korean and Chinese
The program can be downloaded after signing up on the IQ Tool page, with a 30-day trial from the day of sign-up.
