In this paper, we present the autofocusing system of the imaging instrument to be used on IMAT, a new neutron-imaging facility under construction at the ISIS (UK) target station 2. We have compared 16 different autofocus algorithms to select the one with the best performance. The algorithms have been evaluated by using both a qualitative analysis and a quantitative one. An overall score has been computed and the 'contrast based' algorithm has been selected for the autofocusing system. The adopted setup together with the described autofocusing system makes the camera a user-friendly imaging device allowing the optimization of beam time use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
