DXOMARK Score
DXOMARK smartphone camera global score represents our dedicated test protocol, which we have built and continues to update based on our technical and consumer expertise. Our expertise allows us to design the lab setup and shooting plan methodology associated with our set of objective measurements and perceptual evaluation system.
The camera global score is a weighted geometric average of sub-scores: Photo, Video, Zoom, Preview, and Bokeh. These sub-scores are themselves the weighted average of quality attribute scores: Exposure, Color, Autofocus, Texture, Noise, Artifacts, and Stabilization. The weighting system is based on DXOMARK’s experience in surveying consumers about both their smartphone camera usage and their image quality preferences, and thus representative of the final user experience.


Analyzer Lab
Our Analyzer solution allows you to reproduce all our lab tests in your own laboratory. Further, we offer a unique solution of protocol automation that allows you to automatically reproduce the totality of the shots and obtain all the measurements in the Camera v5 protocol. Our software suite automatically detects areas of interest on charts and setups, and then processes all objective and AI-based measurements. To optimize measurement repeatability, we calibrate and test each chart and every piece of equipment before shipping them from our facilities in Paris.
The necessary tools for perceptual analysis, such as our famous DXOMARK chart, are also available and we can provide training in perceptual evaluation to help you perform your own. As for testing using natural scenes, we can provide assistance in creating your own shooting plan accompanied by image quality metrics in line with our protocol.
Protocol Automation
Protocol Automation contains all the testing scripts that DXOMARK uses in its smartphone Camera test protocols and also do all the measurements automatically. Using DXOMARK Protocol Automation, camera engineers can automatically replicate all still image and video objective tests & measurements that fall within these test protocols.
Camera manufacturers need to perform tests swiftly and efficiently. Camera testing is typically a complex process that requires lab operators to manually intervene and prepare the test setup each time they need to perform a new test.
DXOMARK Protocol Automation provides testing scripts that can be used to automate the testing workflow from data acquisition to test result aggregation through automated control of lighting; of different equipment such as the Hexapod Shaker, Timer, AMO, and Trigger; and of data classification and transfer onto the master computer. You can improve efficiency by freeing up your lab operators’ time, as they will need to intervene only at the beginning to prepare the tests.
This software does not provide a full report, but test results in json file. Because DXOMARK reports gather also perceptual tests and analysis, you can also reproduce them in your lab and environment thanks to DXOMARK services.
Starter kit for image quality
This set of charts and accessories is included in our starter kit for reproducing the DXOMARK Camera score or for building your own image quality laboratory. You can now make measurements using these charts in a fully automatic way.

HDR Portrait

Our HDR Portrait setup allows you to reproduce in your lab a very common backlight portrait scene — a very challenging use case for a camera module. Our setup includes a realistic human mannequin and the equipment necessary to create HDR conditions. We have developed unique AI metrics based on the large set of perceptual analyses we have performed during our 20 years of expert image quality evaluation and more than 10 years of analyzing smartphone cameras.
