IE-Analyzer 4 Introduction TourIf there is a software that analyzes the image quality of digital input devices according to the ISO standards it is the IE-Analyzer. This tool is developed by Image Engineering, an independent test lab in Germany that tests more than 200 different cameras per year and uses the software itself. 10 years of experience in camera and scanner testing are incorporated in the IE-Analyzer and in combination with the system test charts there is nothing comparable on the market. The principle: It is very easy to test a specific characteristic of a digital input device using the IE-Analyzer. Just take one or multiple pictures of the related test target under defined lighting conditions (by the way we also offer illumination systems like integrating spheres or our AF box.). Open the image in the adequate software module, press the start button and a few seconds later the result will be displayed. End of March we will start shipping the new version IE-Analyzer 4 that supports a huge variety of test targets. You will get a newsletter with a more detailed description at that time. 25 reasons to upgrade to Analyzer 4? 1. Support of Scanner charts for Dynamic Range (ISO21550), Color (IT8), Resolution (ISO 16067), In order to get to know the Analyzer 4 and the Esser Test Chart testing solutions Dietmar Wueller will present a series of free seminars on a worldwide tour in April and March 2009.

Norterra Technologies Signs Distribution Agreement with Image EngineeringNorterra Technologies has been appointed the master distributor for the United States by German manufacturer, Image Engineering for the Esser Test Chart line. Image Engineering was established in 1997 to test digital cameras for magazines and manufacturers. In late 2005 they purchased Esser Test Charts and added it to their product mix. Today the company boasts an industry leading line of test charts and camera testing software and is very active in industry standards development. About Image Engineering: Image Engineering has been testing digital cameras since 1997 for magazines and manufacturers. Our background is testing the products internally and for this task we have developed software which analyzes captured images from all common sources. Our innovative method to measure resolution using a sinusoidal siemens star will soon be integrated in the ISO 12233 resolution standard. Esser Test Charts which is now part of Image Engineering produces more than 200 test images, Ulbricht integrating spheres and lighting systems with extensive accessories for lighting the test charts. For some time Image Engineering has also offered test charts, lighting systems and complete test stands for testing digital cameras. Until recently this was only a secondary business that had developed out of our own quality requirements and requests from camera manufacturers. With the purchase of Esser Test Charts, the production of test materials is now a focus of our business. Through combining the test images with our own analysis software and through the expansion of the product line to specially produced test stands, Image Engineering is addressing additional markets. The more pixels, the worse the images
