Simulation (iSim)

Imatrics Simulation (iSim) technology provides a realistic simulation of the images that would be obtained in different conditions from a specific type of image or video sensor. It simulates a sensor's output. The input data is an unaltered image (obtained from another sensor in optimal acquisition conditions, or a rendered image) and the sensor specifications. iSim can also realistically simulate video sequences. The system provides a realistic simulation not just of the optics or sensor but also of perturbations introduced by the electronics or the numerical processor embedded in the sensor.

The figure below shows an actual picture taken with an infrared camera (left) and a simulation of the camera's output using iSim.
