Flicker Testing System

Product Details

With the rapid advancement of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and autonomous driving technologies, automotive cameras have become critical environmental perception sensors. Their imaging quality directly impacts driving safety and system reliability. IEEE P2020 establishes a unified benchmark for evaluating automotive imaging systems, where flicker is identified as one of the key image quality issues.

Flicker manifests as periodic or non-periodic fluctuations in brightness or color caused by artificial light sources such as LED traffic lights, vehicle tail lamps, and street lamps. These fluctuations can lead to misrecognition by ADAS algorithms (e.g., traffic sign recognition, lane detection, object tracking), posing potential safety risks.

The RT-FTO system is engineered to address this challenge, offering a precise and automated solution for evaluating flicker performance under realistic road lighting scenarios.
