The eight groups of lead screw assemblies 14 are electrically connected to the driving motor 13, and the lead screw assembly 14 can move inward in the direction of the driving motor 13 under the drive of the driving motor 13.

[0032] As Figure 3 shown, the number of the flicker light source assemblies 20 is one group, and it is arranged in front of the driving motor 13. The flicker light source assembly 20 includes a constant light source 21, a flicker light source 22, and a normally closed light source 23.

[0034] The CDP light source assembly 30 includes several CDP light source parts 31. In this embodiment, the number of CDP light source parts is 6. Among them, three CDP light source parts 31 are arranged above, above the left, and above the right in front of the drive motor 13; the other three CDP light source parts 31 are arranged below, below the left, and below the right in front of the drive motor 13.

[0035] Each CDP light source part 31 is respectively connected to one of the lead screw assemblies 14 through a joint axis and can move driven by the motor 14 and the lead screw assembly 14.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, each CDP light source part 31 includes an installation box 32 and a CDP light source. The CDP light source is arranged inside the installation box 32. A grayscale chart 33 is arranged at the top of the installation box 32, and the grayscale chart covers the CDP light source. The grayscale chart 33 is a transmissive chart, and there are a large number of different grayscale color blocks on each chart, and two of them form a grayscale contrast.

[0037] In addition, light shields 34 are arranged at the four edges of the installation box 32. The light shields 34 extend outward and are open.

[0038] The number of dynamic light source assemblies 40 is two, and the two dynamic light source assemblies 40 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides in front of the drive motor 13. And each dynamic light source assembly 40 is respectively connected to a lead screw assembly 14 through a joint axis and then moves driven by the motor 14 and the lead screw assembly 14.

[0039] As Figures 5 to 7 shown, the dynamic light source assembly 40 includes an installation box 41, a motor 42, a light source 43, and a rotating chart 44.

In addition, the other four CDP power supplies 31 contract diagonally according to the movement of the CDP power supply 31 directly above and directly below, and the dynamic light source component 40 also moves inward driven by the lead screw component 14. After the movement, an angle is formed between the CDP power supply 31 directly above the flashing light source component 20 and the vertical plane, and between the CDP power supply 31 directly below and the vertical plane. The range values of the above angles are 0 to 30°.

[0046] During the test, the driving component drives the flashing light source component 20 and each CDP power supply 31 to move, making them present different angles, so that the distortion during the wide-angle shooting of the camera is minimized; at the same time, CDP-related data of the camera is obtained using the CDP light source.

The dynamic light source component includes a motor, a light source, and a rotating graphic card. And the rotating graphic card is located at the center of the light source, and the motor is connected to the rotating graphic card to drive the rotating graphic card to rotate. Based on this performance testing device, the graphic card is driven to rotate by the motor, and the light source fills light for the graphic card, which saves space and makes the light filling of the light source more uniform. Then, the dynamic light source component is used to complete the performance test of the dynamic blur of the camera.

[0048] In addition, the number of dynamic light source components is two. During performance testing, by controlling the rotation speed and angle of the graphic card, two groups of tests are formed with the two dynamic light source components. One group is to take pictures of a single light source component separately, obtain images for analysis; the other group is to take pictures of the two light source components, obtain images, and compare the data obtained from the two groups of images at the same time.

[0049] Furthermore, the dynamic light source component also includes an installation box, and the light source, the rotating graphic card, and the motor are all arranged in the installation box.
