“I3A’s initiative process has enabled the rapid accomplishment of robust goals and objectives for the Camera Phone Image Quality Initiative. My vision is that through technical collaboration, discussions and face-to-face meetings under the i3a umbrella, the CPIQ Initiative group will develop both a set of industry standards that will provide a systematic approach to camera-phone image quality evaluation and a customer-focused methodology for comparing camera phone models with respect to image quality, based on how they use them. Without i3a’s unique and proven Initiative process, we simply could not reach these goals.”
