Measuring the image quality of smartphone cameras

The challenge

Whether for close-ups, panoramic photos, or selfies—modern smartphones are equipped with several different cameras. Perfect image quality is achieved by optimizing key parameters such as contrast, distortion, and color. This requires high-precision optical measurement technology.

The know-how behind

Each type of camera must be measured and tested using a specially designed test system. This is exactly the purpose for which TRIOPTICS developed its flexible ImageMaster® series. Different measurement setups ensure perfect image quality for every type of picture.
In the years that followed the ImageMaster® PRO became the uncontested international standard for MTF testing and is recognized as the industry standard providing the highest accuracy and reliability. Mobile phone cameras have already surpassed the quality of digital compact cameras. Currently, zoom, i.e. the use of long focal length lenses, is an important topic in this dynamic market.

Megapixel and image quality

The image quality requirements of smartphone cameras call for a high-precision inspection. With a measuring accuracy of 1.5 % MTF off-axis, the ImageMaster® PRO sets the standards worldwide. All measurement results are traceable to international standards.

Wide angle lenses

Dual, triple and quad camera models allow telephoto, wide-angle and bokeh shooting. These new requirements must also be covered by the test equipment, so that the new ImageMaster® PRO 10 is capable to measure image quality at an angle of up to 215°.

The ImageMaster® PRO SF was especially designed for the MTF measurement of smallest possible finite distances and is therefore perfectly suited for the measurement of fingerprint optics.

We are proud that already since the very first mobile phone lenses ever manufactured, our ImageMaster® PRO devices have been the industry standard for measuring image quality.
