May 24, 2016
Digital image quality testing company Imatest has partnered with Sofica, a Finland-based camera algorithm validation and test automation company to bring mobile device customers a robotic research and development (R&D) test automation system integrated with Imatest analysis software and test charts.

Digital image quality testing company Imatest has partnered with Sofica, a Finland-based camera algorithm validation and test automation company to bring mobile device customers a robotic research and development (R&D) test automation system integrated with Imatest analysis software and test charts.

Sofica’s Multimedia Test Automation system (SoMA), uses a robotic arm to align devices under test with test targets, frame the camera against the target, and automatically cycle through devices, according to a release. SoMA—which can be used as a standalone test system or integrated into an existing system—provides a way to read test results to help users optimize their development process, while Imatest software and test charts can be integrated into the testing process for device image quality analysis.

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with Imatest," said Ilkka Myllyperkiö, Sofica CEO. "The integration of Imatest software adds well-known image quality testing algorithms to our current routine. Imatest’s alignment with industry standards provides customers with comparable metrics to assess the image quality of their camera systems."

Jeff Herman, Imatest CEO, also commented. "Our partnership with Sofica will enable labs to use Sofica’s automated R&D test system with Imatest’s image quality test algorithms. We are confident this partnership will optimize our customers’ testing workflow to maximize efficiency and repeatability."
