EMVA and Khronos Group

Call for Participation New Camera API Working Group

The EMVA, leading European industry association dedicated to vision technology, announces the formation of a new Working Group together with the Khronos® Group, an open consortium of industry-leading companies creating advanced interoperability standards, to develop an open, royalty-free API standard for controlling camera system runtimes in embedded, mobile, industrial, XR, automotive, and scientific markets.
The Working Group will be hosted by the Khronos Group and is the result of an EMVA/Khronos-hosted Exploratory Group, held in 2021, during which over 70 companies participated to develop a Scope of Work document that will guide the direction of the API design.
Design work of the Working Group is expected to start in February 2022, and any organization is invited to join to participate. Read more ›

Kiran Ramakrishnan new CEO of Z-LASER GmbH
Effective December 20th, the Freiburg-based laser specialist will be led by a new CEO. Kiran Ramakrishnan takes over the position from Hans Ebinger, who successfully ran the company since 2018.

Ramakrishnan, 50, has more than 25 years of experience in senior management positions with global players in the semiconductor industry. He joined Z-LASER in spring 2021 to elevate sales and marketing activities to an international level. This gave him the opportunity to learn the company’s capabilities and earn the respect of the leadership team. When the position of CEO needed to be filled, Kiran was the candidate of choice for both the Z-LASER management team and the Exaktera Group, of which Z-LASER is a part. A handover program took place to ensure continuity of operations. Read more ›

TELEDYNE IMAGING
High Performance: Imaging for reliable engine block inspection

Polytechnik Schmidt relies on machine vision systems from Teledyne DALSA to inspect sealing surfaces of cast aluminum engine blocks.

The engine represents the heart of every automobile. Performance and fuel consumption depend to a large extent on the quality of the engines used, which is why all parts of the drive system must perfectly correspond to the design specifications. This also applies to the sealing surfaces of engine blocks, as defects negatively affect the tightness of engines reducing both performance and life span. Read more ›

ACTIVE SILICON
Extending IP Connectivity to Autofocus-zoom Cameras

We’re excited to launch our first IP Ethernet autofocus-zoom block camera, adding IP network capability to our Harrier camera and interface board range.
Applications for these versatile cameras are numerous and range from networked surveillance to connected industrial inspection. For example, the Harrier 10x AF-Zoom IP Camera with Tamron MP1010M-VC offers a lightweight and compact 1080p camera solution which is ideal for remote monitoring, traffic & transport, robotics and ROVs.

FRAMOS
Characterization of a CMOS Camera – Online Training

2-3- March – Target Group:
Everyone who is interested in understanding how to obtain the performance characteristics of a CMOS image sensor/camera and how to communicate the results to their peers and customers. The training is accessible to designers, development, and test engineers that deal with CMOS image sensors and CIS cameras.
The training is primarily an in-depth technical class. Because the training is very technical, participants need to have a technical background, preferably in the field of digital imaging. Read more ›

LUCID VISION LABS
Launch of Atlas™ SWIR IP67 Camera Featuring Sony SenSWIR 1.3 MP IMX990 and 0.3 MP IMX991 InGaAs Sensors
LUCID Vision Labs, Inc. announced the launch of the new Atlas™ SWIR IP67-rated 1.3 MP and 0.3 MP cameras.
The Atlas SWIR is a GigE PoE+ camera featuring wide-band and high-sensitivity Sony SenSWIR 1.3 MP IMX990 and 0.3 MP IMX991 InGaAs sensors, capable of capturing images across both visible and invisible light spectrums, and boasting a miniaturized pixel size of 5μm. The camera’s capability of imaging on the short-wavelength infrared light spectrum opens a world of industrial applications with greater precision in fruit inspection and sorting, packaging, IR microscopy, semiconductor inspection, material sorting and more.

SVS VISTEK
Machine Vision with focusable lenses
Focusable lenses can simplify and accelerate inspection solutions. They make industrial inspection systems more flexible in their tasks, faster and less complex in the application. SVS-Vistek now offers the new SVS-EF adapter, which enables the control of Canon EF-mount lenses directly from the camera.

Many current industrial inspection solutions still work with fixed focal length lenses. However, the trend here is toward more flexible solutions and the demand for focusable lenses is growing. An inspection solution should be able to be quickly adapted to new products or even better, in the sense of Industry 4.0 (batch size 1 piece), to adapt to the respective object. Read more ›
