1. A camera performance evaluation system, comprising: an image conditioner unit arranged to receive a target image and condition the target image to create a conditioned target image, wherein the conditioned target image includes a plurality of regions of interest (ROI) each of which comprises a plurality of pixels located in proximity to and associated with each other, wherein a total number of pixels corresponding to the plurality ROIs is less than a total number of pixels that form the target image; a color non-uniformity evaluation module in communication with the image conditioner unit arranged to receive at least a portion of the conditioned target image and quantitatively measure camera color non-uniformity by determining a maximum color difference between any two of the plurality of ROIs for all possible pairs of the ROIs and identifying the maximum color difference as a color non-uniformity metric of the camera; a color shift evaluation module in communication with the image conditioner unit arranged to receive at least a portion of the conditioned target image and quantitatively measure camera color shift by calculating a color coefficient for each of the plurality of ROIs, finding a maximum color coefficient as the largest calculated color coefficient calculated for one of all the ROIs, and identifying the maximum color coefficient as a color shift metric of the camera; and an output interface in communication with the color non-uniformity evaluation module and the color shift evaluation module, the output interface arranged to output a report indicating the color shift metric and the color non-uniformity metric of the camera.
