Top Speakers at EVE 2019 Showcase Embedded Vision Mega Trends
The Embedded Vision Europe Conference 2019, 24-25 October, Messe Stuttgart, will again highlight a conference program with top-class speakers on the trend topics Embedded Vision.
We are very proud to announce the already confirmed speakers:
+++ David Austin / Intel Corporation, gives Opening Keynote +++ Neil Trevett / Khronos/NVIDIA +++ Jagan Ayyaswami / Micron Technology +++ Andrea Dunbar / CSEM +++ Michael Engel / Vision Components +++ Jonathan Hou / Pleora +++ Pierre Gutierrez / Scortex +++ Vassilis Tsagaris / Irida Labs +++ Gion-Pitschen Gross / Allied Vision +++ Bram Senave / Easics +++ further speaker announcements to follow +++
Here we highlight two top contributions of the conference:
Andrea Dunbar | Head of Embedded Vision Systems at CSEM S.A
“Autonomous data-logger with ULP imager”
Andrea Dunbar joined CSEM in 2006 and is today head of CSEM’s Embedded Vision Systems department, which focuses on highly-constrained embedded vision systems. Her research interests include optics and hyperspectral imaging as well as machine learning and embedded systems. She has a PhD from EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland.
Abstract of Andrea Dunbar´s Talk:
Andrea will present a fully-autonomous “stick-on” vision system which brings together an ultra-low power imager, optimized embedded intelligence and custom optics, all powered by a thin flexible photovoltaic cell. This system offers new perspectives in remote security, access control, sheltered accommodation and perimeter control.
Michael Engel | President at Vision Components GmbH
“MIPI Cameras: New Standard for Embedded Vision”
Michael Engel is a physicist who has been working in the field of image processing since 1982. At the VISION 1995 trade show, Michael Engel presented a fully functional VC11 prototype – the first intelligent camera – or embedded vision system in today’s words – for industrial applications, which he had developed from scratch all on his own. Soon after, early in 1996, Vision Components was founded.
Abstract of Michael Engel´s Talk:
Today, high-tech components from consumer markets are suitable for embedded vision applications – at competitive prices. Michael´s talk will give an overview over state of the art and possible application fields in Embedded Vision of MIPI camera modules.

Top Speakers Expected at Embedded Vision Europe Conference 2019
The Embedded Vision Europe Conference 2019, 24-25 October, Messe Stuttgart, will again highlight a conference program with top-class speakers on the trend topics Embedded Vision.
We are pleased to present four of the top speakers and their contributions here:
Jonathan Hou | Chief Technology Officer at Pleora
“Embedded Learning and the Evolution of Machine Vision”
Jonathan Hou is Chief Technical Officer with Pleora Technologies, a lead supplier of video interface solutions for the industrial automation, security and defense, and medical imaging markets. Previously, he held software development & engineering management, applications engineering, and software development roles in the machine vision and networking industries.
Abstract of Jonathan Hou´s Talk:
Jonathan will discuss the trend toward embedded machine learning in vision systems, in particular its impact on vision software choices. He also looks at how machine learning could help us in a new era of cloud-based “inspection as a service” opportunities, as well as hardware and software implications that designers and integrators should consider for vision systems that interact with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Vassilis Tsagaris| CEO at Irida Labs
“An holistic embedded vision approach: looking beyond the deep learning models”
Vassilis Tsagaris founded Irida Labs in 2009 with the aim to bridge the gap between a camera and a human eye by bringing visual perception to any device, making embedded computer vision accessible to everyone. Today, as CEO of Irida Labs he is responsible for corporate strategy, business partnerships and business development worldwide.
Abstract of Vassilis Tsagaris Talk:
Embedded Computer Vision has entered into a new era, driven by the recent advances in Machine / Deep Learning. In this presentation he will show how Irida Labs is providing real-world edge vision solutions while addressing issues in a) the standardization of data collection, curation and management, b) mechanisms for Edge deployment, management and support, c) incorporating advanced Machine Learning techniques enabling few shot learning, lifelong learning at the Edge and d) privacy preserving learning and deployment.
Gion-Pitschen Gross| Product Manager at Allied Vision
“How to set up an embedded system for industrial embedded vision – Requirements, components, and solutions”
Gion-Pitschen Gross has been working for Allied Vision since 2016 and has been responsible for a wide range of products from short-wave infrared cameras to a portfolio of GigE cameras. Since last year he is responsible for the new Alvium Camera Series which bridges the gap between machine and embedded vision.
Abstract of Gion-Pitchen Gross´s Talk:
Embedded systems not only bring advantages to users of industrial image processing who have previously worked PC-based, but also new challenges such as new hardware architecture, interfaces, new data processing paradigms, and open source operating systems. This presentation provides an overview of the most important key factors and presents possible set-up scenarios for Industrial Embedded Vision.
Bram Senave | Business Development Manager at Easics
“Embedded deep learning in PCB inspection”
Bram Senave began his career at On Semiconductor as a product engineer. In 2018 he joined easics, a System-on-Chip design services company targeting both ASICs and FPGA, as business Development Manager. His prime focus is to help easics’ customers and partners to integrate the right technology in their embedded systems. An example is the recent developed easics’ IP for Deep learning (AI).
Abstract of Bram Senave´s Talk:
Today, artificial intelligence often runs in the cloud, with data being sent back and forth between the application and the AI algorithms running on energy-guzzling cloud infrastructure. Easics’ embedded AI solutions integrate tightly with novel and existing sensors such as image sensors capturing light inside and outside the visible spectrum (such as hyperspectral and thermal infrared), 3D scanning laser (LiDAR), Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, radar, microscopy, ultrasound sensors, and microphones.

David Austin of Intel Corp. gives Opening Keynote at Embedded VISION Europe 2019
David Austin, Sr Principal Engineer at Intel Corp., will give insights to flexible and practical AI for industrial deployment.
The European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) is pleased to announce that David Austin of Intel Corp. will open the Embedded Vision Europe Conference 2019 as Keynote Speaker.
Supported by Messe Stuttgart, the EMVA organizes the 2nd edition of the European conference on Embedded Vision, the Embedded VISION Europe, from 24-25 October 2019 at the ICS International Congress Center Stuttgart.
Keynote Abstract:
Industrial AI based solutions often struggle to keep up with the state of the art due to the nature of product development and validation cycles vs the speed at which the AI technology and understanding is advancing. It doesn’t need to be this way. Careful consideration of few important AI and computer vision tools and techniques can give outsized benefits relative to pool of available options.
In his talk, titled “Flexible and Practical AI for Industrial Deployment”, David will give his audience an overview as well as insights into some of the practical techniques that advance KPI’s like accuracy, latency, and cost. Attendee of the eVe 2019 conference will be able to take learnings straight to practical implementation, especially IIoT implementations in manufacturing.
