Does it mean that the proper hood exposure is more important than details in the sky?I would swap the top and bottom lines.
And what about those 3's on the side of central 2 2? I guess these zones are even more sensitive to the headlights during night time.During night there is too much light at low-central 2 2 zone because of car headlights.
I don't have the hood in my image, and plates are more important than the sun or clouds, normally, unless I am making a video rather than capturing evidence:Does it mean that the proper hood exposure is more important than details in the sky?
Depends on the situation, in this situation I want those threes to be zeros because my headlights don't illuminate out there so the threes make the centre part overexposed, and I might want something in the sky to get a nice exposure on the moon and venus:And what about those 3's on the side of central 2 2?

I like your approach as it allows to get as many traffic lights as possible without losing any important details on the road itself. But many dashcam manufacturers recommend sky to road ratio of 30% to 70% and they use AE-metering tables to match it.I don't have the hood in my image
What AE pattern was used for the 'Alfsoft'?Look at the passage of the tunnel.

70 vs 30 is just too much, in reality nobody will set the dashcam like this. Some of them which want more road will use maybe 60-40, but most of the people which knows how to mount a dashcam are using 50-50 or 55-45. I consisder this 70-30 is an old story from poor CMOS and poor manufacturers which could not setup a metering table.But many dashcam manufacturers recommend sky to road ratio of 30% to 70% and they use AE-metering tables to match it.
Nice comparisons but a firmware should not be optimized based on tunnels which are very rare in normal driving. Firmware should be setup for normal situations and if in a tunnel situation the video is not OK we should accept like it is, but not to ruin a firmware which will be used 99% in normal situations with poor results and 1% in tunnels with good results. I would sacrifice the tunnel but to have good image in other situations.Look at the passage of the tunnel.
I will. But only for some certain research reasons. And I don't believe that any one-cam setup is able to do the job here (note the modern smartphone market).in reality nobody will set the dashcam like this

No, I put Novatek NT96658 for testing and I do not regret it yet.Are you modifying Novatek firmwares in that video comparisons with tunnel?
It's brighter but the 1st image is slightly sharper in the hedgerow by the tree and the road. That makes me think any vehicle will probably be the same as well. Also, a difference in colour balance - in the top one it looks like you have HID, the bottom one halogen. Were they different cars or side by side mounted in the same car? That said, it's still good in zero light, there doesn't appear to be any noise as you said and it's definitely brighter and so possibly a more sensitive. You're second capture looks less noisy that the one in your first post.
Deed it's not in the tunnel, but in the light - from the shadows to the bright light.Nice comparisons but a firmware should not be optimized based on tunnels which are very rare in normal driving
From your video, in first 6 seconds the bottom left was best.
From the middle of the video the best is top left but seconded close by the bottom left. Not so easy to observe this second part of your test because the videos are not exactly at the same frame.
enjoy,
