Darryl Perks

Darryl graduated from the University of Surrey, UK, in 1995 with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering.

He initially worked as an ASIC designer on telecommunications chips before moving into an imaging position in 2006 where he set up his first image quality labs focusing on mobile, medical but predominantly automotive image sensors. Since then, he has worked on a wide range of both raw image sensors as well ones which include ISPs for both human viewing and ADAS applications. He has been responsible for creating bespoke test methods and equipment to ensure all sensors are thoroughly tested and tuned to achieve the highest possible image quality.

Darryl has also been an active member of the IEEE P2020 working group since late 2017 and led the flare metric which can be found in the now released IEEE 2020-2024 standard and has recently taken up the position of vice-chairperson for this automotive image quality working group.
