Camera performance simulator based on information theory

Norman Koren describes a camera performance simulator that includes an image sensor noise model with parameters derived from either dynamic range test chart measurements or EMVA 1288 results. The simulator includes lens degradations and the effects of Image Signal Proces­sing (ISP). Results can be analyzed for standard image quality metrics such as sharpness and noise, or new metrics, derived from information theory, that provide an improved prediction of machine vision system performance.
