Automotive QCT1128 Testing Solution

Overview

With the rapid advancement of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies, in-vehicle cameras—serving as the "eyes" of vehicles—have their image quality directly linked to driving safety and system reliability. To standardize the performance of such critical components, relevant Chinese national authorities have established the mandatory standard QCT 1128 and the recommended national standard GB/T 38892-2020, titled "On-board Video Event Data Recorder System." Following the progression of national standards, Yanding has launched a complete in-vehicle camera testing solution fully compliant with both QCT 1128 and GB/T 38892 requirements. This provides a one-stop, high-precision turnkey solution for your product development, quality validation, and production control.

Details

I. Understanding the QCT 1128 Standard: The "Quality Benchmark" for Vehicle Cameras

The QCT 1128 standard is a national industry standard specifically formulated for the image performance and reliability of automotive cameras (such as forward-view, surround-view, rear-view, and electronic mirror cameras). It stipulates a series of key performance indicators that vehicle cameras must meet before installation. The standard aims to ensure that these cameras can provide clear, accurate, and stable images under various complex road and lighting conditions, serving as a reliable data source for ADAS (e.g., Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking) and driver's field-of-view extension systems.

II. Comprehensive Coverage of Test Items Required by the Standard

Our solution enables comprehensive image quality evaluation of vehicle cameras. The core test items cover:


Basic Performance: Frame Rate, Effective Pixels, Field of View (FOV)


Clarity & Detail Rendering: MTF (Modulation Transfer Function)


Photoelectric Performance: Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Dynamic Range, Maximum Luminance, Minimum Illumination, Automatic Gain Control


Color Performance: Color Reproduction Accuracy, White Balance Performance


Optical Defects: Lens Flare, Ghosting (Ghost Images), Geometric Distortion


Timing & Latency: Exposure Time, System Startup Time, Latency Testing


III. Professional and Complete Core Equipment Configuration

The Yanding solution integrates high-precision hardware with intelligent analysis software, ensuring testing accuracy and efficiency.


Core Software: RIQA Image Analysis Software, capable of performing high-speed, stable analysis for all test items specified by the standard without requiring Matlab.


Test Charts: A complete set of standard test charts, including Slanted-Edge Test Chart (CP135), High Dynamic Range Test Chart (CP198), 24-color Card, Checkerboard Test Chart, etc.


Dedicated Lighting System: Dual vertical multi-color temperature fill lights, dual-color temperature transmission light box, fiber optic point light source (for flare testing), ghosting test point light source, simulating various lighting environments.


Electrically Controlled Platforms: Automated vertical test chart switching system (CH-AVDO-10X), electrically controlled lifting optical platform (HS-T60AM2), enabling efficient and consistent automated testing.


Other Instruments: Timing Tester (IS-Timer101), Image Capture Card (MIG-S2), Camera Eccentricity Tester (IS-COC V2), high-precision illuminance meter.
