Part 5 — Specifications and Image Quality Performance for Camera devices

This section is most relevant to Image Quality testing. IEC 62676 is in line with ISO 15739 which is supported by Imatest.

Using Imatest’s 150dB 36-Patch Ultra-HDR test chart along with the DarkWorld mask complies with the target as defined in 5.4.4.3.  This chart can be illuminated by the ITI LED Lightbox which is available in a 100,000lux variation which meets the requirement of the standard.

Section 5.4.4.4 describes how the dynamic range calculation is performed.
