What Is Image Quality?

Image quality is a complex topic that goes far beyond brightness or sharpness. How do sensor and pixel sizes, quantum efficiency, SNR, and dynamic range affect a camera’s image quality? How can you correctly interpret the figures in an EMVA1288 camera datasheet? Do high values in those datasheets mean better images?

Watch our latest Vision Campus video for answers to these and many more questions. Learn which factors contribute to composing a “good” image and which criteria should be considered when comparing the image quality of different cameras for your vision system.
