iQ-Analyzer-X - Image quality analysis software

    iQ-Analyzer-X - Image quality analysis software

    Product Overview

    The iQ-Analyzer-X introduces the next generation of image quality evaluation. In this iteration of the software, we’ve built entirely in C++ and introduced new AI-powered tools to deliver an exceptionally modern, advanced camera analysis platform for professionals looking to improve image quality testing of their image capture systems.

    This software is ideal for camera and sensor developers during end-of-line testing who are looking to understand how their systems perform against a variety of image quality performance factors, including resolution (SFR), texture loss, dynamic range (OECF), color accuracy, lens distortion, shading, flare, low-light, and noise.

    In previous versions, we relied on Mathworks Mathlab, which often limited our flexibility. Using C++ has increased workflow flexibility and allowed us to design an advanced, user-friendly interface. It also allows us to create script interfaces and access low-level APIs.

    In addition to a more balanced, flexible user interface, we have introduced AI-powered test chart detection tools to improve the speed and accuracy of image quality analysis. Captured results are quickly identified, and the target features and ROIs (regions of interest) are analyzed. Results and testing parameters can be stored in a local or server-based database to enable comparisons of test results across labs and for future evaluations.

    The software supports image and video files, including those from external webcams, integrated cameras, live streams, and capture servers. It also offers automation features, such as hot folders and command-line interfaces, to further improve testing efficiency.

    The iQ-Analyzer-X is compatible with numerous test charts, including our TE42 multipurpose series and custom-made charts. Using a TE42 multipurpose chart with the iQ-Analyzer-X provides a high-speed analysis solution, enabling you to evaluate multiple image quality factors in a single test image.

    Versions

    The iQ-Analyzer-X is available as a Full, Cultural Heritage (CH), or Light version. The Light-Version provides you with a limited functioning analysis software. That will greatly improve the overall efficiency of your camera performance evaluations. To take advantage of all the features that the iQ-Analyzer-X offers, we recommend upgrading to the Full-Version. For purchase inquiries or additional information, please use the contact button in the upper right corner.

    Version Details

    Full-Version

    When you purchase a Full license, you will receive a USB dongle token. You can install the iQ-Analyzer-X on an unlimited number of devices and then connect the USB Dongle to run the software. The network license feature lets you connect the dongle to a host PC, and the software then runs on any device that has access to the host PC.

    In addition, you will receive a one-year maintenance package. This package includes all version upgrades as they become available during your maintenance year. After your maintenance package concludes, you can continue using the iQ-Analyzer-X indefinitely; however, you cannot upgrade to future versions. If you wish to continue upgrading after one year, you can purchase additional maintenance years (multiple years can also be bought during the initial purchase).

    Please contact our sales team for more details.

    iQ-Analyzer-X CH

    The Cultural Heritage (CH) version of the iQ-Analyzer-X is designed for archiving professionals who document and preserve our past. It is based on the Pro version, but only UTT analysis and analysis of our color charts are possible with an adapted dongle. Combining these test charts with the software provides a powerful solution for evaluating image quality in scanners and other devices and for creating digital replicas of documents, photographs, and other reflective media.

    The iQ-Analyzer-X CH is less expensive than the full standard version, iQ-Analyzer-X Full, as it is limited to the cultural heritage industry's requirements.

    If you would like to try the CH version, download the free version and perform a UTT or color chart analysis with our sample images. Please note that once you purchase your dongle, it will limit you to these charts.

    Contact our sales team for more information.
