The VCX organization aims to provide objective image quality testing for mobile phone cameras and webcam systems so that consumers can make a more informed decision when purchasing a smartphone or webcam based on a final "score." The VCX v2020 international standard introduced image quality metrics and test methods for evaluating performance.
During a VCX mobile phone test, the primary camera is tested for image and video quality and performance, while the selfie camera is tested for image quality. The final VCX score provides the level of camera imaging performance. A high VCX score means a high level of image quality. This test is designed for both standalone and built-in webcams.
These metrics require advanced test equipment for proper evaluations. Our VCX PhoneCam product bundle includes various tools outlined in the standard.
