Simulate Bright Sunlight in a Test Lab
Arcturus is a DC light source with extremely high intensity and consistency
Today’s image sensors and high dynamic range configurations make testing at or close to sensor saturation challenging. With Arcturus, we can generate more than enough intensity to challenge these sensors with a much higher sensitivity than currently possible. Arcturus can simulate the intensity of bright sunlight illumination with very high stability compared to other light sources. This ability allows camera systems to be evaluated in a test lab more efficiently.
The main benefits of Arcturus include:
- Maximum illuminance of up to 1 Mcd/m²
- Flicker-free (DC-driven LED)
- Extremely high stability and consistency
- Create real HDR scenes when combining with other Vega devices
- Change intensity over a vast dynamic range with constant spectrum
- Control via UI software, API, and Python scripts for Windows and Linux
Arcturus is an excellent solution for testing many of the metrics outlined in the IEEE-P2020 standard, including contrast transfer accuracy (CTA) and flicker (MMP).
IEEE-P2020 KPI - Dynamic Range
Testing the dynamic range of ADAS applications with the IEEE-P2020 standard
One of the key metrics of the IEEE-P2020 standard is dynamic range. An ADAS application will experience a vast dynamic range in a typical driving environment, from dark, low-light scenes at night to direct bright sunlight on a sunny day. For these applications to have more autonomy, they must be able to detect objects and make safety adjustments in extreme lighting conditions. P2020 uses CNR (contrast-to-noise ratio) measurements to determine dynamic range performance.
We use Vega, a DC (direct current) light source, when creating a dynamic range test scene in a test lab. With Vega, you can perform spatial and temporal recordings per the P2020 standard to get an overview of dynamic range performance. Results can be evaluated on heatmaps using the VLS-Evaluation software.
Building a Camera Test Lab
Find the right test equipment for your testing requirements
We have put together a series of product bundles for those looking to get started with specific camera tests, e.g., IEEE-P2020 or VCX webcam testing. These bundles are ideal for those looking to quickly start their testing while continuing to build out the rest of their lab. They are also perfect for those with limited lab space.
Don’t see the bundle you need? Please don’t hesitate to contact our sales team for a consultation on combining different products to meet your requirements.
Join us at AutoSens USA
June 10-12, 2025 – Detroit
We are excited to head back to Detroit for AutoSens USA this June! This will be the first AutoSens conference since the official publication of the IEEE-P2020 standard, and we are excited to discuss the standard and all of the latest developments in autonomous driving applications.
We will showcase a series of advanced image quality testing equipment, including Arcturus, our sun simulator light source with extremely high intensity and consistency. We will also present GEOCAL, a compact solution for geometric camera calibrations.
Looking forward to seeing you all in June.
