NimbusQA workflow

NimbusQA workflow is simple and effective. Requiring just a few steps, it returns deep insight into image quality, and ulitmate confidence in your digitization processes:

  • Purchase one of the supported reproduction targets e.g. Colorchecker SG

  • Measure your target (either created with a spectrometer or by downloading manufacturer data)

  • Photograph the target and export it to file - either .tif or .jpeg

  • Upload the measurements and the file to NimbusQA

  • NimbusQA will analyse the photo and compare with the measurements

  • Using one of 3 international standards, an objective image quality report is generated of how well your photograph matched the measurements

  • NimbusQA can measure from over a dozen parameters within the standards: Color accuracy, sharpness, scale accuracy, tone response and many more

  • Use the report to make corrective actions to improve quality, download the report to store alongside your digitisation project, or share the report with other stakeholders

5. Analysis & Data

Review your data… how’d you do?

A graph shows the e-SFR based on ISO 12233, with a color-coded rating scale and mean of 10 edges. The graph plots SpatFreq versus SFR, with lines representing R, G, B, Y, and recommended ratings. To the right, there's an ISO target chart with color circles, squares, and measurement markings.

6. Details & Reports

Now you have all the details… what should you do now?
