Certifi Test Targets
Certifi Pedigree® QP works with specially designed Pedigree test targets to
provide fully automated image quality analysis. There is no need for a user to
identify if a target is present in an image or to select the target region. The
efficiency and speed of this automated target detection and analysis process
allows for on-going quality measurements without any interruptions or delays.
Certifi test targets (FC-1/FC-1C and FC-2/FC-2C) are reflection media for use with cameras
and scanners. The targets are available in two sizes to meet the needs of a
diverse range of applications. The quality measurements that are made from the
two targets are very similar, and these measurements are represented the same
way in the image metadata. As a result, it's possible to switch seamlessly
between the two types of targets in a production workflow.
All Certifi test targets include neutral color monitoring using spectrally flat neutral patches.
The FC-1C and FC-2C targets include nine color patches that are specially produced for Certifi to
allow enhanced monitoring of color reproduction. The FC-1 and FC-2 targets are more cost effective for
applications that don't require in-depth color analysis.
FC-1 and FC-1C Targets
The FC-1 and FC-1C targets are 8-1/2" x 11", which allows them to be used for larger area
quality measurements in camera, flat-bed scanner, and sheet-fed scanner
applications. Typically, the FC-1 and FC-1C targets are not used in the presence of other
image content.
In a digitization workflow, the FC-1 and FC-1C targets would be used intermittently, such as at the beginning of
a stack of document pages in a sheet-fed scanner, or at least once every session
or job in a camera-capture application. Because the quality analysis is fast and
fully automated, the FC-1 and FC-1C targets can be used as often as desired without
interrupting the workflow.
FC-2 and FC-2C Targets
The FC-2 and FC-2C targets are 1-1/4" x 8-1/2", which allows them to be used beside the actual
content as it is being captured in camera and flatbed scanner applications.
With an FC-2 or FC-2C target placed in the image frame, every piece of content that is
digitized has a individual quality analysis associated with it.
