1 Years Warranty (Additional support period of 3 years)

This chart is designed for testing automative cameras or other significantly distorted cameras. This large chart is designed to be reflectively lit, and captured at a an optimal focus distance.

Options include:

  • Pre-distortion: Most automotive camera modules have significant fisheye distortion which can make it difficult to the outside of the image field. this chart has pincussion pre-distortion to approximately compensate for the barrel distiortion of the automotive camera module. The distortion coefficients that should be entered into the Imatest SFRplus settings window are [1.167 1.577]
  • Square Grid: 5x7 slanted square grid 
  • Substrate & ink type: Matte paper & ink can be used to reduce reflected light. This is critical for high levels of distiortion, otherwise specular reflections can ruin MTF measurements
  • Contrast levels: 10:1 contrast ratio, common for several automative testing standards
  • Color chart: a 20 patch color chart for color accuracy and bayer filter position verification
  • Bar to Bar height:  the maximum bar to bar height is 38.5 inches on the left and right side.  The minimum bar to bar height is 23.5 inches in the center.
  • Active Area: the extra-large chart be used for sensor sizes above 24 MP. This chart has an active area of 1500mm x 965mm and is printed on 1117 mm X 1524 mm inch paper

The active area of the chart includes white space above and below the top and bottom distortion bars. It is slightly larger than the printed area, which is bounded by the distortion bars on top and bottom. White space is included in active area because test images of the chart must include this white space in order to enable automated processing in SFRplus software.

FAQs About  SFRPlus Test Charts

Colorimeters or spectrophotometers are used to measure liquid color. They measure light coming through or reflecting off the liquid. Readings can be reported as Lab*, RGB, or absorbance units. So that objective color analysis can be used to control quality, or to measure chemical concentration.

Colorimeter vs Spectrophotometer for Textile QC 

For textile quality control, a spectrophotometer is always the better choice instead of a basic colorimeter.

Key Reasons

  1. Spectrophotometer captures full spectral data, handles dyed fabric, printed textiles, yarn, woven and knitted materials with complex color and texture.

  2. Supports SCI/SCE, metamerism test, fastness comparison and batch color consistency inspection.

  3. Higher accuracy and better inter-instrument agreement, perfect for factory mass production and customer color approval.

  4. Basic colorimeters only show simple color difference data, easily affected by fabric texture, rough surface and lighting, with poor stability for textiles.

3nh Recommended Models

  • TS7700 / TS8560: High-precision, ideal for textile lab QC, color matching and raw material incoming inspection.

  • NR60CP / NS800: Cost-effective option for daily production line routine color checking.


Record the L*a*b values of the sample and the reference with a calibrated spectrophotometer or colorimeter. Compute the difference in the color by use of ΔE. The lower the Delta E, the more accurate the result. The difference in energy, ΔE < 1, is generally assumed to be invisible to the eye.


CIELAB L*a*b* values are the most standardized units in the use of color measurement. These determine values of lightness (L*), red-green (a*), and blue-yellow (b*). The color differences between the two samples can be measured through ΔE.

To answer this question, you first need to clarify your specific needs: 

  • Is it for simple color quality control (QC)?

  • To coordinate with supply chain color management?

  • To monitor on-line color stability?

  • Do you require computer color matching or production color correction?

  • What is your budget?

  • Systematic supervision and evaluation of color performance in dyed products?

If you aren’t fully clear about your requirements at the initial stage, our color management engineers are ready to communicate with you. We will recommend solutions tailored to your needs. When conditions permit, we can provide prototype demonstrations and trial testing to ensure the instrument meets your practical application requirements.

Measurement Accuracy (dE/ΔE): The smaller the value, the higher the match between the color measured by the colorimeter instrument and human visual perception. Generally, dE < 1.0 is regarded as the industrial passing line, while dE < 0.5 falls into the high-precision level. 

Measurement Structure: D/8 (integrating sphere structure) is the universal standard, which includes two modes: SCI (Specular Component Included, with specular reflection light) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded, excluding specular reflection light). 45/0 (ring illumination) simulates the human eye's viewing angle and is more suitable for judging reflective materials. 

Repeatability: It refers to the difference in color results when measuring the same point multiple times. The equipment can achieve ΔE < 0.08, ensuring highly reliable measurement results. 

Illumination Source and Viewing Angle: It is recommended to choose the combination of CIE standard light source D65 (simulating daylight) and a 10° viewing angle. 

Application Scenario Requirements: It is necessary to clarify the purchase purpose (quality inspection? R&D? material evaluation?) and the usage environment (laboratory, workshop or field work?).
