摘要： The embodiments of the invention here are automated systems and processes for testing a camera device. The processes can detect dark signal non-uniformity (DSNU) within a digital image that has been captured by a solid-state imaging sensor of the camera device under test. Techniques that may be able to detecting localized and global color drifts of various shapes have been described and claimed.

摘要： An in-focus lens position may be determined by computing a focus metric value, by counting the number of transition pixels for images of a target captured at different lens positions. Using as little as two frames to compute two focus metric values, a reasonable approximation of the in-focus lens position may be obtained. The approximation of the in-focus lens position may then be used as a starting point for a fine focus search process, to determine an in-focus lens position. An advantage here is that the focus metric values relate to the number of transition pixels and are easy to compute, and yield a reasonable approximation of the in-focus position with just a few frames. Other embodiments are also described.
