June 2022 – EMVA

Focal Topic: ‘Accuracy, Reliability and Limits of Machine Vision’

The forum aims to foster interaction between the machine vision industry and academic research to learn from each other, discuss the newest research results as well as problems from applications, learn about emerging application fields, and to discuss research cooperation between industry and academic institutes. The overall goal is to accelerate innovation by translating new research results faster into practice.

Don’t miss to share your expertise at the forum’s 5th edition taking place 27-28 October 2022 in Cork, Ireland.

Companies, institutes and universities are invited to submit their valuable contribution to this focal topic. Submit your extended abstract for a contributed talk or poster right now via this Application Form.

All submissions are openly reviewed by the joint Scientific and Industrial Advisory Board of the forum. Find all details and especially the complete Call for Contributions at

The EMVA informs that the old EMVA 1288 standard license expired for all users on June 21, 2022. From this date on, new datasheets in which data is designated as EMVA 1288 compatible and marked with the EMVA 1288 logo may only be published if the new EMVA 1288 license has been applied for and approved by the creator of the datasheets.

Also, the general conditions for participation and thus active involvement in the GenICam standard working group hosted by EMVA have changed, which requires a re-registration for all participating company representatives.

Two times a year, the International Vision Standards Meeting (IVSM) gathers machine vision experts in the standard working groups to further develop the most commonly used standards in the machine vision industry. Due to ongoing pandemic restrictions in some parts of the world the last IVSM from 23-27 May once again was held virtual. During the event, major online-meetings took place within the standard working groups of GenICam, OOCI, GigEVision, USB3Vision, CoaXPress and OPC-UA.

IP Ethernet technology has been added to our most powerful autofocus-zoom camera to create the Harrier 40x AF-Zoom IP Camera.
The camera provides a low latency H.264 video stream over RTP, is fitted with a Sony STARVIS Sony sensor and features an impressive 40x optical zoom. The IP Ethernet video stream is supplied by the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board which offers options for Ethernet, PoE and wireless interfaces.
This versatile unit is ideal for applications in networked surveillance, industrial inspection, medical imaging and remotely-operated vehicles, amongst others. Read more ›

FRAMOS, a global supplier of custom vision solutions and imaging components, is leading the market to integrate Analog Devices’ new GMSL3 technology in the embedded vision environment. Camera developers can use the flexible FRAMOS Sensor Module (FSM) Ecosystem to validate a large variety of image sensors in the lab and in the field. GMSL3 can transmit high frame rates (4K, 90 fps) over cable lengths of up to 14 meters with unprecedented efficiency. This interface is ideal for applications where the maximum MIPI CSI-2 (D-PHY) cable length is not sufficient while, at the same time, very low latency and a highly robust cable, with low power consumption at low cost, are essential.

Vision Components has integrated four new Sony Pregius S sensors into MIPI camera modules for embedded vision. Featuring high image quality, light sensitivity and readout rates, the IMX565, IMX566, IMX567 and IMX568 global shutter sensors are perfect for high-speed applications such as industrial inspection. The VC carrier boards are designed for efficient repeatable industrial processing: robust, with excellent heat dissipation and prefabricated mounting holes and precision fittings. The MIPI-CSI-2 port allows for easy connection to all common processor platforms. Read more ›

Vision Components launches a new type of embedded vision system for 3D and dual-camera applications.
The VC Stereo Cam can be flexibly configured for a wide range of OEM projects. It is based on the powerful VC Power SoM image processing module with an onboard FPGA, which preprocesses large data volumes in real time and transfers the results in the MIPIdata stream to a higher-level CPU. This allows users the free choice of their processor platform.
The FPGA is open for customer programming. Vision Components’ extensive groundwork for stereo image processing with synchronized triggering and optional disparity matching saves users a lot of development effort.

XIMEA introduced new models using Sony Medium format BSI sensors with exceptionally high resolution.

The new members of the xiX family deliver resolutions starting from 61 Mpix and going up to 151 Mpix, all based on backside illuminated technology from Sony.
Enhancing these premium quality sensors with the speed of PCIe interface results in 61 Mpix at 17 Fps, 101 Mpix at 8 Fps, 151 Mpix at 6 Fps and more with Binning. As is a good habit with Sony, specifically with their BSI sensors, these also present a very high level of Quantum efficiency attaining the 90% sensitivity. Read more ›
