EMVA is pleased to welcome its guests at the Business Conference 2019 in Copenhagen from 16 to 18 May. The program of the conference is packed with many interesting presentations from top class speakers, which we will introduce successively.
The EMVA is pleased about the presentations of these two top speakers:
Dr. Christian Hörr, Head of Software Development at Carl Zeiss Optotechnik
‘Exploiting the Power of Angular Illumination Methods’
Christian Hörr is Head of Software Development at Carl Zeiss Optotechnik GmbH, where his work focuses on overarching topics within optical metrology, computational geometry, image processing, and robotics.
He received a PhD in computer science from Chemnitz University of Technology in 2011, where is research topics have been non-photorealistic rendering, shape analysis, and data mining applied to the domain of archaeology.
Abstract:
Illuminating an object from different but well-defined directions gives additional clues on its shape and material, which would be hard if not impossible to derive from a single image. In contrast to multi-camera setups, additional light sources are available at very low costs and they usually do not require overly precise calibration. In this talk, we show examples from different applications such as microscopy, surface inspection, and optical metrology, where angular illumination methods achieve astonishing improvements over conventional setups and often exceed their physical limitations at the cost of acquiring and processing a much higher number of images.

The EMVA Board of Directors Meeting on April 4th 2019 took place in the premises of Allied Vision in Ahrensburg. We would like to thank Allied Vision for their kind hospitality and support.
We are pleased to announce that further new members have joined EMVA in the first quarter of 2019. In addition to IMPERX from the USA, we would like to welcome VISION COMPONENTS, KAPPA OPTRONICS and VISION MARKETS from Germany and GPIXEL from Belgium.
A key indicator of the economic climate in the European machine vision industry is the EMVA quarterly machine vision sales report as part of the EMVA market research activities. The recently concluded survey of sales in the fourth quarter 2018 indicates that total machine vision sales went up slightly by three percent compared to Q3-2018. Throughout 2018 the 2nd and 4th quarters showed quite weak growth rates while 1st and 3rd quarter over-performed. Overall, the report results in a yearly growth rate of the European machine vision sales of 9.5 percent compared to 2017. In addition, the evaluation of the quarterly sentiment which gathers industry predictions about future machine vision sales growth revealed that the machine vision suppliers keep being carefully positive.
