mobile cameras: December 2007 Archives

Nearly two dozen leading companies from all areas of the mobile imaging eco-system have joined forces to work on Phase 2 of the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A; http://www.i3a.org) Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) Initiative, the group announced today.

Following the final open meeting held last month in Paris, the CPIQ Initiative enrollment is now closed, and work begins in earnest to develop repeatable, robust, test methods for evaluating the metrics associated with image quality — both subjective and objective.

“CPIQ Phase 2 is off to an aggressive start, with nearly all Phase 1 members returning and a substantial number of new companies joining in,” said Lisa Walker, I3A President. “This breadth of participation - companies of all sizes, from all segments of the imaging eco-system and all corners of the world — demonstrates how important addressing image quality issues is to the future of our entire industry, and how valuable is the level playing field that I3A provides.”
