Problems: Testing Subjectivity and Inconsistent Results

Testing camera features requires an extensive amount of manual work and utilization of different tools. Consequently, test results are based on human observation and can vary significantly depending on the individual tester. Inherent testing subjectivity can lead to unreliability, unnecessary production delays, and increasing costs.

Solutions: Automated Testing with Precise Results

Sofica’s innovative robotized testing platform IQLaR, Image Quality Labortory automation and Robotics, has revolutionized camera testing by enhancing objectivity, maximizing efficiency, and accelerating testing of products in development. In short, IQLaR offers greater quality, consistency, and reliability for your products.

IQLaR’s automated testing system provides optimal functions that are beyond any manual approach. First, the robotized system increases the load capacity and the speed of the essential and mandatory camera tests. It also improves the accuracy of the testing process, which will inevitably provide précises results that are comparable to previous ones. In other words, you will be able to rapidly perform a much greater number of tests in a much shorter time while obtaining explicit rests with minimal error. IQLaR also makes it possible for you to repeat identical tests and then systematically compare them with past results.

Early Problem Detection

With our fast, accurate, and easy-to-run IQLaR, a considerable advantage is provided to you to identify potential problems and defects early on in the development stage of your products. Early problem detection allows quick reaction and correction and ensures a substantial-quality, robustness, and reliability of your products.

 

Standardized Image Quality Testing

IQLaR is currently integrated with Image Engineering IQ-Analyzer X software and tests charts, which is well-known image quality analysis tool in the industry. Image Engineering alignment with industry standards provides comparable metrics in order to evaluate camera system image quality. We are also supporting Imatest and can customize different analyzing software and charts on demand.
