The wearable device product landscape is constantly evolving, bringing immense business opportunities to enterprises. However, in the process of continuous innovation and development by manufacturers, accurate experimental data is the cornerstone of success. Only by combining professional capabilities with equipment can the accuracy and consistency of test results be ensured, accelerating the product optimization process and achieving greater efficiency.
Especially in the development of imaging products, accurate measurement of light source and color is key to enhancing image quality. Allion Labs’ Imaging Consulting Team uses three types of wearable cameras as case studies, providing professional testing and analysis to not only examine the products’ color accuracy under different light sources but also assist enterprises in formulating precise sales strategies.
This case study involves a sports goods distributor that sought Allion Labs’ Imaging Consulting Service to receive recommendations on market marketing and product positioning for their line of Body Cameras.
Allion Labs shared with the client that in the development of products with camera functions, without utilizing professional equipment to perform relevant optical measurements, the client’s product development team might face the following challenges and risks:
- Measurement data errors
- Unstable image quality
- Increased development costs and time
- Reduced product competitiveness
In addition to providing a professional laboratory environment and equipment for precise measurement of camera image quality in various scenarios, the Allion consulting team also formulates customized quality verification plans for the client’s products. Through data measurement and analysis using a professional color illuminance meter, they can understand the camera’s performance under different lighting conditions
Firstly, the consulting service provided by Allion’s Imaging Consulting Team utilized the Konica Minolta Chroma meter CL-200A color illuminance meter to examine variables of the cameras under different lighting conditions. This allows for precise image quality analysis measurements in different application scenarios. Taking the color difference metric, ΔE as an example, the precise light source variables and analysis results enable the client to understand their product’s quality performance.
Image Quality Analysis: A smaller ΔE value represents higher color accuracy.

From the data in the table above, we can determine the performance of the three different specifications of wearable cameras:
Low Light Environment (Scenario 1)
Camera B performs the best （ΔE = 4.8）, and Camera A has the most noticeable color deviation （ΔE = 6.2）.
Mixed Light Environment (Scenario 2)
Camera B still performs the best （ΔE = 6.1）, with Camera A showing the most noticeable color deviation （ΔE = 7.8）.
Natural Daylight Environment (Scenario 3)
All three cameras have relatively high color reproduction, with Camera B still leading （ΔE = 3.2）, and Camera A performing slightly worse （ΔE = 3.5）, but the overall difference is small.
Finding the Right Team Doubles the Results with Half the Effort: An Empirical Analysis of the Positioning and Sales Strategy of Wearable Cameras
Allion’s Imaging Consulting Team discussed the quality performance of the three products with the client, enabling the client to correctly formulate market sales strategies:
Entry-Level Camera A
Positioned for the mass market, emphasizing its price advantage. Suitable for budget-conscious customers with low color accuracy requirements, such as general sports training or entertainment use.
Intermediate Camera C
Positioned for the mid-range market, highlighted by “professional-grade performance, reasonable price.” Appeals to users with a lower budget who still require reliable image quality.
Professional Camera B
Positioned for the professional market, emphasizing its superior color accuracy under various lighting conditions, and collaborating with professional institutions for test verification.
