A Geometric Calibration Comparison
Comparing the accuracy of traditional methods vs. GEOCAL
GEOCAL is a geometric camera calibration device that uses a beam-expanded laser in combination with a diffractive optical element (DOE). This device introduces a new dimension in geometric camera calibration.
Check out our latest blog article, in which we compare the accuracy of GEOCAL to other currently established geometric calibration methods.

VLS – Versatile Light System
A new versatile light system (VLS)
We are excited to announce the release of the VLS, our new illumination solution that efficiently measures the crucial KPIs outlined in the IEEE-P2020 standard, such as contrast transfer accuracy (CTA). Six Vega light sources power this light setup. Each Vega is attached to an arm that can be manually positioned at various angles. Vega is a DC-driven high-precision light source for testing cameras with very short exposure times, such as automotive-grade systems.
The VLS software includes VLS-Control for easy test sequence generation and VLS-Evaluation for straightforward test results analysis. The software's first version (1.0.0) will feature CTA measurements and results analysis.
The VLS creates a dynamic scene that can be quickly randomized to generate typical illumination challenges that automotive cameras and sensor systems face. Order by June 30, 2024, and receive a 10% discount on the purchase price. Contact our sales team for more information.
iQ-Analyzer-X V1.9.0
The latest version of the iQ-Analyzer-X is available for download
This version of the iQ-Analyzer-X brings many new updates, improvements, and bug fixes.
We have added a new external database migration tool to allow you to transfer data between different databases. We have also implemented a backup system for local database storage, including automated backup during a software update and the possibility of creating manual backups or returning to older versions.
Chart support for the TE42-LL 2AR and the TE253 16:9 is available with this version. We have also improved the analysis of Siemens stars and slanted edges while improving many UTT and OECF target measurements.
Check out the latest changelog for all of the updates and improvements.
