imatest stray light seminar registration

Imatest will launch a stray light symposium on November 16, which will be held in the form of a Zoom virtual meeting, which will Chinese real-time translation.

If your registration is successful, Zhengyin Technology will send an official email invitation and a meeting link.

What is stray light?

Stray light, also known as glare, refers to any light that reaches an image sensor rather than passing through a design optical path (as defined by the IEEE-P2020 pre-published standard).


Stray light can be thought of as systematic, scene-related optical noise. Depending on the mechanism of stray light production, it can produce spurious objects in the scene (i.e., ghosting/ghosting), reduce contrast in parts of the image (e.g., glare), and actually reduce the dynamic range of the system. These factors can adversely affect the application performance of imaging systems in a variety of situations.



Some cases of stray light

Stray light from the camera can be measured by capturing images of bright light sources located at different angles within (or outside) the camera's field of view, and then processing these captured images into a stray light metric image, where each pixel in the image is remapped to represent the stray light metric.
The light source object itself is excluded, or masked in the image, because it is not considered stray light. Various information and summary statistics can be obtained from the obtained stray light metric image.

The main metric used for stray light analysis in Imatest version 22.2 is the Point Source Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The PSRR indicator uses the on-axis reference image of the light source (specifically, the horizontal line within the imaging light source object) to standardize the data of the measured image, and provides the PSRR stray light indicator image as the main output.
PSRR has been used in the aerospace and defense industry for decades as a stray light indicator for testing and characterizing optoelectronic systems for airborne and spaceborne applications, including telescopes and satellite imagers.
How to use Imatest Master to test for stray light (Flare)?
Procedure for batch/automated analysis of stray light (Flare) in Imatest Master.
● Starting from the Select Image step of the workflow, select the image you want to analyze for stray light.
◆ When importing pictures, you can click "Select Picture" to manually select a group of images, or click "Select Folder" to select an image directory. Optionally, choose to enter a configuration file, or select the directory that contains the configuration file.
◎ Note: In a single Imatest run, all images under test must be the same size (array size and number of channels).
◎ Note: Users cannot select image files and profiles as blending inputs in a single Imatest stray light analysis run.
◎ Note: If you use a configuration file as input, some of the meta information defined in it will be associated with each image to be analyzed (for example, the angle of the light source relative to the camera) to be able to better label the output.
● Click "Next" to enter the "Select Analysis" step of the workflow and select the Stray Light Analysis module (Analysis Options > Stray Light/Glare > Stray Light).
● Configure stray light analysis settings by clicking "Settings".
● Click "Analyze" to run, wait for the Imatest calculation result and generate an output data file.
● Check the result graph and output file.
