The Financial Services Technology Consortium announced this week that it has developed a set of test documents that banks and other companies can use to calibrate imaging systems.
The documents, the product of a six-month camera calibration project, are designed to check the key issues in image usability, such as differences in a capture system's spectral response, its sensitivity to contrast changes, and its edge detection at low contrast.
"Banks depend on each other and their remote-capture customers to negotiate only high-quality check images," Matt Calman, a senior vice president at Bank of America Corp. who is its process innovation and engineering executive, said in a press release from the consortium. He headed the industry-backed project.
The New York research organization said it would submit the documents and recommendations to Accredited Standards Committee X9 in Annapolis, Md., which sets technical standards for the financial industry.
