VCX Version 2020 - Further development of a transparent and objective evaluation scheme for mobile phone cameras

VCX or Valued Camera eXperience is a non-profit organization dedicated to the objective and transparent evaluation of mobile phone cameras. The members continuously work on the development of a test scheme that can provide an objective score for the camera performance. Every device is tested for a variety of image quality factors, while these are typically based on existing standards.

Tests include texture loss, resolution, low light performance, shooting time lag, image stabilization performance and more, all for a variety of different capture conditions. This paper presents that latest development with the newly released version 2020 and the process behind it.
