Responsibilities
Image Quality (IQ) Evaluation System development for Mobile photo camera, Automotive camera, and IoT Product Camera. The IQ areas include tone/exposure, color and white balance, texture/details, noise, depth and Bokeh, resolution, visual artifacts in photo and video. The IQ Evaluation System development consists of the following activities:
Define and generate the dataset and IQ aspects/metrics for given camera imaging features (e.g. HDR, Noise Reduction, Depth/Bokeh)
Develop the SW tools for the lab test automation, metric analysis, and report generation
Image Quality (IQ) Evaluation for internal camera solutions:
Perform the IQ evaluation for the internal camera solutions, including the fundamental Imaging Blocks (e.g. Denoising and Sharpening, Tone Mapping, 3A), and the various advanced Imaging Features (e.g. HDR, Depth and Bokeh, Super Resolution). The solutions to be tested can be traditional imaging algorithms or modern machine-learning based features
Generate the IQ Evaluation report and communicate with the solution/feature development teams with the IQ evaluation results to improve IQ features
