Scope
GB/T 42978-2023 is the English-translated version of 数码照相机 渐晕的测量.
GB/T 42978-2023 specifies the measurement of shading in digital cameras, adopting ISO 17957 with modifications. Shading is the fall-off of brightness and the shift of colour towards the corners of the frame, caused partly by the lens and partly by the angle at which light strikes the sensor's microlenses; every phone camera corrects it in software, which is exactly why a defined measurement is needed - what is being sold is the result after correction, and the correction can leave colour non-uniformity where it removed the brightness fall-off. The standard sets the test conditions and methods, including the test chart and the image and camera settings, and the analysis methods for luminance shading, luminance non-uniformity and colour shading, with informative annexes on the recommended measurement conditions and a worked example of the shading metric calculation. It took effect on 1 April 2024.

It took effect on 1 April 2024.
This document describes a method for measuring vignetting in digital cameras. The test method includes independent measurement of color and luminance signal components. program. This document applies to vignetting measurements on digital cameras and camera phones.
