As cars become reliant on on-board cameras for automated operation, the consequences of any flaws in the quality and interpretation of images sent to decision-making systems starts to become a matter of life and death. So an agreed way to benchmark image quality is imperative, yet no specific product standard for automotive applications currently exists. This realisation prompted sensor system engineers to initiate the process of writing such a standard, and having analysed existing standards, an industry working group is now looking to open discussion to include representation from across the supply chain. According to Dr Sven Fleck, “There are image quality standards for other use-cases, such as for surveillance and cell phone cameras, but these have no direct comparison in autonomous vehicle systems where image quality becomes safety relevant.”
