The Color  Spilled Coins chart (a variant of the Dead Leaves chart) for measuring texture sharpness has several advantages over older Dead Leaves charts. Key features:

  • The Scattered Coins pattern in the central region is almost perfectly scale-invariant (unlike conventional dead leaves charts), enhancing the accuracy and robustness of MTF measurements so they correlate well with other methods (such as the slanted-edge) for RAW images (which have no nonuniform or nonlinear processing).
  • Maximum contrast range is 3:1, as called for in the CPIQ Phase 3 draft Texture Blur Metric draft specification.
  • It is more uniform, i.e., is more shift-invariant than other Dead Leaves charts.
  • It contains slanted edges (2:1 and 4:1 contrast) for convenient comparisons with the dead leaves pattern.
  • The gray area to the left and right of the dead leaves pattern has the same mean density as the dead leaves pattern, allowing it to be used for effective noise PSD removal using the McElvain et. al. technique.
  • Registration marks and 16 grayscale patches are included. The linear levels used to create the grayscale patches are 0 through 255 in steps of 17 (same as the Siemens Star chart in the draft of the upcoming ISO 12233 standard).

FAQs About  Texture Test Charts

Gloss level is not given out in percentage but in gloss units (GU). In practice, however, 100 GU is considered 100 percent reflective. To contrast visually, the 20-40 GU is a low-gloss surface, and 85 or more is almost 100 percent mirror-like reflection.


a. Before installation, please Copy CQCS3 folder to your computer and don’t remove any files in CQCS3 folder.

b. Double-click the setup.exe to install CQCS3 software.

c. Then double-click Install.bat under the CQCS3USB_Driver file to install the driver.

d. Detailed installation information please read the "Installing Software" under CQCS3 User manual.doc.

a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.

b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.

c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.

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?).


To keep the light box calibrated and to ensure accurate and steady lighting, clean the inside, replace the lamps when needed, check the calibration and record the hours use

Testing metamerism helps to identify color matches that look the same but are different in different lighting. This helps in ensuring that materials are of the same quality in all light settings.
