This intent of this standard is to quantify the performance of camera-equipped mobile devices. There is an emphasis on metrics and procedures appropriate to the types of sensors@ lenses@ and signal processing routines present on such devices. It is not intended as a general image quality standard for photographs produced by high-end dedicated cameras@ e.g.@ digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. Purpose Camera-equipped mobile devices have become ubiquitous@ displacing dedicated digital cameras as many users?? primary tools for photography. However@ consumers have little guidance about the quality of the images produced by particular device models. That lack of guidance is due in part to a lack of uniform image quality testing for the devices@ and what testing is done seldom is accessible to the layperson. This standard attempts to establish a uniform means of evaluating the quality of cameras in mobile devices@ allowing objective comparison between devices@ models@ and manufacturers@ using a variety of metrics that are relevant to consumer photography.
