Dynamic Test Stand

As autonomous driving assistance systems continue to develop, it has become crucial to test the safety and effectiveness of these camera systems. The Dynamic Test Stand has the unique ability to check an automotive camera for its capability of detecting and differentiating multiple objects within the cameras field of view.

This device has effectively created a new way of testing automotive image quality by measuring contrast detection probability (CDP). New technology in the automotive sector means traditional KPIs such as SNR have less importance and new measurements such as CDP are needed to address the latest technology.

Essentially, the DTS can test an extensive dynamic scene as opposed to a synthetic scene all within a lab environment. In the test lab, it can precisely recreate driving conditions that would be much harder to duplicate in an unpredictable outdoor setting.

While an outdoor setting is still possible, there are few options for analysis software to evaluate the miles of generated data. A breakthrough with the DTS has been the development of CDP evaluation software that can quickly analyze the data to see the object detection probability of the camera.

Standard workflow

Hardware Features

The DTS device itself incorporates advanced hardware and LED lighting to create an all in one testing solution for automotive cameras. With one device, it is possible to run a test for contrast detection, color separation, modulated light mitigation (flicker) and motion artifacts (blurring).

Software Features

The DTS software is used to generate sequences, control the hardware and evaluate the test results. What makes this software invaluable is its ability to produce the test sequences and then evaluate the results, all of which is possible from a separate location than the device itself. This dynamic gives the research and development team much more freedom when testing.

DTS-Sequence Generator

Establish the individual testing sequences

This software can generate testing sequences using drag and drop control. It also controls step parameters, simulates the sequences and is capable of importing/exporting sequence files (XML-Format).

DTS-Control software

Use the hardware to manage and run the sequences effectively

This part of the software controls the sequence timeline on site. It also can correct the field of view, log (sensor tracing) and control the DTS-Calibration routine.

DTS-Evaluation software

Gather and quickly evaluate the test results

The evaluation software can quickly and efficiently analyze the results of the testing sequences. Use this software to evaluate CDP, CSP, MMP and motion artifacts.
