ICDM Display Test Patterns Home Page
The ICDM provides display test patterns which can be used for testing with the IDMS1 (Information Display Measurement Standard) or for general display performance measurements or evaluation.
These patterns are native format patterns for a number of display formats (format being the pixel array of the display, sometimes referenced as resolution). You can freely download them for your use. Please be sure to give recognition to the ICDM for making these patterns available to all.
Caution - Large files! Some of these native format bitmapped test patterns can be quite large and take a long time to download. They are presented in zipped format for convenient accessibility. However be aware that not only are they large in size, but they also contain many files within the zip file, sometimes over 1,300 for a single format. The individual files themselves within the unzipped file set can also be quite large, sometimes ranging over 20MB for the higher "resolution" patterns. The graph below gives an idea of sizes to expect for the files both in the zipped and unzipped states.
Background: These test patterns are in the public domain presented by the ICDM. They were initially developed by Ed Kelley when he was with NIST, with contributions from Joe Miseli. Thanks also to Michael H. Brill for the concept of the Color Inversion Pattern (CINV01_...). Although you can use them freely, please always give mention to the ICDM for providing them and keep the ICDM name with them in distribution.
We plan to add more to these pattern sets, so be sure check back from time to time. The dash number indicates the revision level of the pattern. Each successive update to the test pattern sets will be seen as an increment to the version number in the title. For example, the current bitmapped test pattern file ICDM-00_1920x1080.zip will increment to be ICDM-01_1920x1080.zip when the next version is available.
On this site we plan to include further test patterns to support the ICDM standard (IDMS), reporting templates, and other utilities to help you use the IDMS.

1) Fixed Format Bitmapped Test Patterns -- Many are large Downloads!
Currently 80 different versions of the bitmapped test patterns are available, shown in the table below. Feel free to contact the ICDM support group via the support links on this and other ICDM web pages to request the formats (resolutions) for which test patterns are needed but in the listing below. We are also interested in hearing about what ideas you might have for future patterns.
Note. How to take maximum advantage of these display test patterns.
These are bitmapped patterns of fixed formats (resolution) and are mean to run on displays which exactly match that format and with no scaling on the display. Do not run the wrong formats on displays or many of the patterns will no be of use. If you want to look at any critical detail on a display for any pattern with high spatial frequency content, you must use the correct pattern to match the format (resolution) of your display, and the display must run at its correct (or native) format. For example, if a display is 1920x1080, do not run patterns such as 1280x720 and scale them up to fill the screen, as it will not be useful for many of the patterns.
