Planning The Future Of Thermal Camera Testing At AutoSens Europe 2025
In the United States, more than three-quarters of pedestrian fatalities happen after dark.[1] Nighttime pedestrian collisions at intersections have an 83% higher chance of being fatal without street lighting.[2] The severity of pedestrian safeguarding has prompted the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to finalize a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard in May 2024, mandating …
From Headlight Glare to Autonomous Driving: How Optikos Stray Light Testing Rules the Road in 2025
Stray light is the invisible enemy of every professional automaker in 2025. Want to build a car with adaptive headlights? You’ll need to test for stray light. Looking to develop the next craze in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)? You’ll run into LiDAR technology, which needs to be vetted for stray light interference. Basically, every new car that is being manufactured …

MTF Measurement at Proper Conjugates
View/print as a PDF. Written by David P. Biss, Ph.D. The modulation transfer function (MTF) provides vital information about the imaging performance of an optical system. Measuring the MTF of a lens or lens assembly is a reliable way to assess lens quality and is used across multiple industries; including defense, automotive, medical devices. To generate reliable and accurate MTF …
Encircled Energy and Ensquared Energy on LensCheck™ Lens Measurement Systems
View/print as a PDF. Encircled energy (EE) is an important metric for characterization of optical systems designed for light collection. These applications typically use an image-forming lens where the amount of energy collected on a detector is more important than the resolution or MTF of the imaging system. An example is range-finding. An emitted laser pulse is reimaged onto a …
