DxO Analyzer is a complete measurement solution providing in-depth image quality analysis and diagnosis for any image capture device.
DxO Analyzer covers all relevant image quality parameters: colour, resolution (MTF) and sharpness, dynamic range, exposure, noise and most optical aberrations (distortion, chromatic aberrations, light shading etc).
DxO Analyzer includes test lab specifications and equipment, detailed documentation and automated analysis software.
DxO Analyzer works on raw and RGB images.
Results are presented in an easy-to-use interface making analysis faster and reporting easier.
DxO Analyzer is completely operator-independent: the measurement protocols are robust and ensure repeatable and accurate measurements.
DxO Analyzer also complies with all major ISO and industry standards - such as SMIA and I3A.
