Comprehensive Simulations with Accurate, Quantitative Results

ImSym integrates multiple features to simulate an imaging system object using an input graphics file. ImSym’s accuracy is powered by CODE V and LightTools, the most trusted imaging and illumination optics design solutions in the industry.

  • Models geometric, aberration, and diffraction effects
  • Simulates scene stray light and additive stray light sources
  • Models detector effects; the sensor includes dimensions, pixel characteristics, and a sophisticated noise modeling process
  • Processes radiometrically accurate detected images with custom or built-in image and signal processing
  • Generates a series of simulated images at each step along the pipeline
  • Supports a Python programming language interface to automate ImSym processes and customize ISP capabilities

Transforming How Product Design Teams Work

This innovative simulation platform helps design teams collaborate more effectively and bring their cutting-edge imaging products to market faster. 

"We wanted to help optical system design teams evaluate image quality early on and provide a platform that opens up a whole new market."
