Saikat Kamal

Chief Architect Of Automotive Camera Rig design for Real Time Pixel Processor - RPP.   

Design Lens and Sensor Model with Image systems engineering toolbox for cameras.

Image Quality, Camera IQ assessment, IQ tuning and report to the authority responsible for this purpose.

IQ evaluation (Objective/subjective test methodologies design), defined test requirements, procedure etc of camera module for best IQ performance.

Development of ISP module (with proper split between software and hardware) and recommendation of image sensors for product bench marking (like: Skype and Lync Video Certification [very close to Imatest but its free] etc).

Develope metrics for objective tuning and lead the tuning team for subjective image quality testing across customers. Build custom image quality lab and software infrastructure (batch processing) for improving image quality testing and also internal and external bench marking.

Automating the Colour Camera Calibration Process like 3A, vignette correction, noise reduction and sharpness, temporal filtering, tone mapping, demosaicing, 3d-2d denoising,Fixed Pattern Noise Calibration and color tuning  and giving training to the team for obtaining the best calibration data.

My recent development include HDR Radiance Mapping, Local (taking special care of halos and wide gamut capture) and Statistical Local (Locally Adapted Single Tone Curve) HDR, Fixed Pattern Noise Correction, Noise Reduction both temporal and spatial, Adaptive Black Level,  Multiple Auto White Balance for HDR, Multiple Auto Exposure for HDR scenes, Improvement of Colour Calibration, Demosaicing etc and automating the calibration process.
