In the automotive industry, the development of advanced human vision systems is essential for improving driver safety and comfort, as well as overall vehicle performance. These systems, which range from rear-view cameras to sophisticated driver monitoring systems, rely heavily on the quality and precision of image processing. The Image Signal Processor (ISP) built into automotive cameras is at the heart of this process. To guarantee optimum performance, it is essential to rigorously test the camera’s ISP, particularly in the context of human vision applications.
Camera ISP testing involves evaluating and optimizing the performance of automotive cameras to ensure that the images they produce are clear, accurate and reliable. The ISP is responsible for processing raw image data, color correction, noise reduction and contrast adjustment, among other tasks. In the context of human vision systems in vehicles, a well-tested ISP is essential for providing drivers with accurate visual information, thus enhancing safety and user-friendliness.
DXOMARK puts its 20+ years of expertise at the service of its customers to provide an impartial measurement report, as thorough as necessary, on the sensors available on the market. Our methodology ensures the accuracy and repeatability of results, enabling them to be compared throughout the Camera Analyzer laboratory installed worldwide. Our decades of expertise enable us not only to offer a solid base of standard tests but also to develop state-of-the-art test tools (such as all IEEE-P2020 measurements, a brand-new standard set of measurements dedicated to Automotive testing) and the challenges & needs of each customer.
These tests feed data into the camera industry, publicly on DSLRs, Smartphones, and now Laptops. However, our expertise extends far beyond the publicly visible part, with Automotive camera testing in particular. DXOMARK remains the leader in camera testing, and our reports can be used as a selling point, too, by comparing competing systems with the same measurements.
The next challenge is to build an analysis of these results to establish a choice. Having already tested several hundred cameras in the Automotive sector and several thousand across all security, AR/VR, etc. markets, DXOMARK can provide a detailed analysis of the results provided in a test report, as well as the targets to be reached according to the applications targeted.
