The partnership between Ansys and DXOMARK is a strategic move that taps into the growing demand for high-quality virtual camera models. This collaboration is likely to enhance Ansys's competitive edge in the simulation software market by integrating DXOMARK's expertise in image quality analysis. The ability to accurately simulate and validate camera systems can significantly reduce the development time and costs for companies in aerospace, automotive, healthcare and consumer electronics sectors.
From a market research perspective, the integration of such advanced technologies could potentially lead to increased adoption rates of Ansys's solutions. By offering a more streamlined and reliable design process, Ansys may see an uptick in sales and customer loyalty. Furthermore, this technological advancement could disrupt the traditional camera design market, setting new industry standards for simulation accuracy and efficiency.
The announcement of the Ansys-DXOMARK partnership could have positive implications for Ansys's financial performance. By shortening product development cycles and reducing costs, Ansys's customers can achieve a faster time-to-market, which is crucial in technology-driven industries. The ability to deliver high-fidelity simulations that closely align with real-world performance is a compelling value proposition that could drive revenue growth for Ansys.
Investors should monitor the adoption rate of the integrated workflow solution as it may serve as an indicator of Ansys's future financial health. If the market responds favorably, Ansys could see an increase in its market share within the simulation software industry, potentially impacting the company's stock performance positively.
The technical details of the collaboration emphasize the importance of accurate virtual models in camera system design. The combined use of Ansys Lumerical, Ansys Zemax OpticStudio and Ansys Speos, coupled with DXOMARK's Analyzer, addresses a critical challenge in optics: the correlation between simulated and actual performance. The ability to predictively validate camera systems before physical prototypes are built is a significant advancement in optical engineering.
This workflow can lead to better-designed products with improved optical performance, such as higher resolution, better dynamic range and reduced noise. For industries that rely heavily on camera systems, like autonomous vehicles and medical imaging, these improvements are not just incremental; they are transformative, potentially leading to safer autonomous vehicles and more accurate medical diagnostics.

/ Key Highlights
- Ansys and DXOMARK collaboration will offer the first solution on the market to reliably validate virtual models of camera systems
- Ansys Lumerical™, Ansys Zemax OpticStudio™, and Ansys Speos™ create a workflow that produces a raw image that can be evaluated by DXOMARK's world-class software, Analyzer, to enable an end-to-end virtual camera system solution
Optical systems are used across industries in applications like autonomous vehicle sensors and advanced medical devices. As the number of critical applications continues to increase, so does the need for even more reliable validation. To design the most accurate virtual camera systems, large amounts of real-world data are needed to correctly define the models used for testing. This information can be challenging to obtain, making the validation process much longer and cost inefficient.
Combining Ansys and DXOMARK's technology enables a reliable solution for validating virtual camera systems. Users first run simulations in Ansys Zemax OpticStudio to develop an optimal lens design, and Ansys Lumerical, to simulate complex micro-components, like the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. These results are then integrated into Ansys Speos, where a full virtual model of the camera is built. Using the Speos Sensors System Exporter, a raw image of the model is produced and transferred to Analyzer for characterization. The DXOMARK software enables customers to evaluate various features of their virtual model — including noise, flare, dynamic range, and distortion — against Analyzer's physical measurement standards. The process enables users to compare simulation results with real-world data and validate the design with extreme predictive accuracy.
"The collaboration with Ansys will provide unparalleled benefits for customers around the world," said Frédéric Guichard, ceo of DXOMARK. "The question of validating any virtual model comes down to the real-world data used to back it up. We have been providing that service for over 20 years with Analyzer. Integrating it into their workflows will further empower customers to continue to produce top-of-the-line products with fewer obstacles."
"We are invested in helping our customers overcome engineering challenges, and by partnering with DXOMARK, we can deliver reliable simulation solutions that are backed by the best of the best," said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. "Customers across industries have diverse needs, and Analyzer has been at the forefront of standardizing and benchmarking camera system functionality for decades. The partnership will ensure our customers get the most out of their designs, presenting them with further opportunities for innovation and industry advancement."
The end-to-end workflow will maximize product value and help customers align their products and services with current market trends. Visit Ansys at SPIE Photonics West in
