Motivationo Existing Standards for cameras are not suitable for MVo Each Sensor and Camera Manufacturer has it’s own definitionso The Customer is left guessing with datasheets
Today cameras and sensor are digital but manufacturers specify V/lux s ?!
Lux is a unit adapted vor human vision not for wider spectral band

Standard 1288 Module 15) Measurement Scans
Acquire 2 series of images with increasing Exposure time. One series in dark, one with a constant illumination. Compute the mean value of The images, report the mean versus the integration time and the number of photons Collected in each pixel.
From 2 images at the same integration time, compute the square difference image. The mean of the squared difference image is the Variance. Report the variance for the series in dark and for the series with light versus integration time and number of photons. Saturation exposure is defined as the exposure where the variance is maximal
