Imager Testing Software

The Industry Standard for Communicating Image Quality Results

The Imatest imager testing software enables manufacturers of imaging devices to fully characterise common image quality factors in an automated test suite.

In combination with test charts this enables fast, efficient and reliable testing from research and development to production.

Whether you need an image analysis suite, image acquisition features for R&D, an automation library for production line testing, or all of the above, Imatest has a variety of options for your testing needs available with different licensing types to fit your organisation.

License Types

Subscription License – Annual Subscription licenses are available with benefits that include:

  • Access to all upgrades and updates during the subscription period
  • Access to our technical support team
  • Unlimited access to our recorded training curriculum
  • The opportunity to join our weekly live Office Hours session
  • Exclusive discount opportunities.

Perpetual License

Perpetual licenses include one year of Support. Maintaining current Support on your perpetual license allows you access to all upgrades and updates during the Support period, as well as access to our technical support team.

 

License Concurrency

Node-Locked License

Node-locked licenses can be installed on multiple computers, however activation is limited to one computer at a time. A user must deactivate the license before it can be reactivated on a different computer.

You may upgrade your node-locked license(s) to a floating license, if you have active support for your license, and you pay the difference in price.

Floating License

Floating Licenses are a flexible licensing option offered with all Imatest products starting with version 4.4. They allow each license to be automatically shared across multiple computers without the time-consuming process of deactivating and reactivating the software on each computer.

Each license code allows for a set number of concurrent uses (called “seats”) that can be shared automatically between any number of computers that have installed and activated Imatest software using the same license code. For example, a license purchased with four concurrent uses, or seats, and installed on ten different machines allows for four active users at one time.

Imatest Master Software

Used by hundreds of companies for developing and testing digital cameras and imaging systems, Imatest Master is Imatest’s most popular software product. It includes the full set of Imatest image quality tests and supports most standard test charts.   

Description

Imatest one-year Subscription Licenses are available as node-locked or floating licenses. Licenses are delivered electronically via email. 

The subscription license includes unlimited access to our recorded training curriculum to help you develop the knowledge and skills to effectively use the Imatest software to assess digital image quality and interpret test results.

R&D Solutions:  

  • Analyse over 30 popular test charts with different features for colour, tone, sharpness, noise and many other image quality factors.
  • Faster, more efficient and more reliable than creating in-house software.
  • Test for a variety of image quality factors at once using SFRplus or eSFR ISO, and reduce the amount of time spent switching between charts

Featured Modules:

  • SFRplus: Assess many image quality factors using one specially designed test chart.
  • eSFR ISO: Assess many image quality factors from enhanced versions of the ISO 12233:2014 test chart.
  • SFRreg: Measure sharpness from simple targets placed anywhere you want to test.
  • Color/Tone Interactive: Analyse colour, tone, and noise from a wide variety of test charts.
  • Checkerboard: Measure sharpness, lateral chromatic aberration and distortion without sensitive framing requirements.
  • Rescharts: Evaluates several resolution test charts.
  • Dot Pattern: Measure distortion and lateral chromatic aberration using a dot chart. The calculation is CPIQ-compliant.
  • Even Field Test: Detect blemishes and defective pixels on the sensor and measures colour and illumination uniformity.

Imatest Industrial Testing (IT) Software

Imatest IT is a set of software components that allow for the integration of key module functionality into your custom testing programs. Quickly test products on the production line while maintaining quality standards. Manage multiple suppliers using one unbiased testing algorithm and catch quality issues earlier in your supply chain. This one-year Subscription License is eligible for quantity discounts when you purchase five or more IT subscriptions on one order.

 

Description

Imatest one-year Subscription Licenses are available as node-locked or floating licenses. Licenses are delivered electronically via email.  Imatest Imatest IT Perpetual Licenses are also available.

Imatest IT includes an Application Programming Interface (API) that supports four different types of interfaces: C/C++ DLL, command line EXE, Python module, and .NET DLL. Each of the interfaces described below have the same functionality as the corresponding modules in Imatest Master and IS but operate without user intervention, making them suitable for integration with automated systems. 

Although Imatest IT operates independently of Imatest Master, it is strongly recommended that IT users have at least one Master installation on site to support the process of defining execution parameters and default settings.

 

C/C++/.NET DLL (Dynamic Link Library) and Python Interfaces

The C/C++/.NET DLL and Python Interfaces are software libraries designed for integration with other software systems. The interfaces allow developers to access Imatest’s powerful analysis tools via calls to Imatest functions using a variety of languages and platforms.

The C/C++ DLL, Python, and .NET Interfaces feature not only the module libraries, but also extensive support documentation including detailed function definitions and sample code, as well as basic example programs that interface with each of the modules.

 

EXE (Executable) Interface

The EXE interface is a set of standalone programs initiated by DOS calls from the test system. The test system interacts with Imatest IT through files specified in the DOS command line: the primary inputs are an image file and an INI control file (created and saved by Imatest Master during setup). The output is data files in JSON, XML or CSV format. Figures can be saved if desired.

 

Imatest Ultimate Software

Imatest Ultimate combines the analysis suite of Imatest Master and the automated testing of Imatest IT. This enables engineers to refine their settings while they are integrating Imatest’s software library with their factory or lab control systems without having to deal with multiple licenses or computers. Imatest Ultimate offers our complete software capabilities within a single license.
