The annual EMVA Business Conference will take place 13-15 June at the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Gdansk, Poland.
The conference program is nearly set and again it addresses the most relevant topics of the machine vision industry. Besides the professional keynotes, conference attendees may look forward to contributions from Siemens – Battery Solutions, Sachtleben Technology, Fraunhofer IOSB, TrustNXT, XNext, Qualitas Technologies, …

In good tradition a spotlight will be put on the hosting country Poland.
We are happy to announce the presentation:

Get an insider’s view on the ecosystem for machine vision in Poland. The talk will highlight the main players in the vision market, from end-user industries to research facilities & academia, from component producers and distribution to system integration.
Last but not least it will address main local challenges as well as the opportunities for the machine vision industry.

Jan Jaczewski graduated from Warsaw University of Technology in the Power and Aeronautical Engineering faculty. From the beginning, his career was related to machine vision.
As an application engineer, and then the head of the R&D department, Jan gathered practical knowledge of vision technologies and market and conducted several EU subtended research projects. Read more ›

Continuing its interview series the EMVA this time asked Mr. Tim Bruylants, Image Coding & Standardization Expert at intoPIX, about his motivation to join the work on standardisation.

intoPIX is an image and video compression technology company that provided a major part of the technology behind JPEG XS, an open ISO mezzanine video compression standard. It allows to overcome bandwidth and power budget restrictions without impacting latency and quality in applications that otherwise rely on uncompressed video data. JPEG XS furthermore supports direct compression of raw Bayer CFA image data, …: Read more ›

Behind our revolutionary technology are our co founders: Jorge Blasco PhD, the intellectual father of photonicSENS’ single lens, one shot 3D sensing solution, and Ann Whyte, the operational lead & President.
Depth perception is the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D). It enables us to judge how far away something is, or how much space is between things. In August 2015 Ann & Jorge hired first photonicSENS employee to recreate this ability in any device.
Today a multidisciplinary, multinational team of highly qualified engineers, physicists, and computer vision experts make this vision a reality. Our mission is to be the leader in 3D depth cameras for VR, MR & AR. Read more ›

Smart waste management of biowaste increases recycling rates and minimises residual waste volumes.

Smart waste management is one of the core tasks within smart cities, i.e. those urban areas in which innovative technologies and data-driven solutions are used. They aim to improve the quality of life of residents, minimise environmental impact and use resources more efficiently. Conserving resources is not just about recycling, but also about innovative approaches to collecting waste and then disposing of or processing it in the best possible way. Read more ›

The new allPIXA neo CMOS line scan camera delivers highest performance in mono, RGB and NIR with 4k / 6k resolution. Equipped with 10 GigE and CoaXPress interfaces it is the best solution for all high-speed and web inspection tasks. With its small size, it enables simple and scalable integration in small installation spaces.
Multispectral line scan sensors with excellent signal to noise ratio allows to accurately capture images in high quality. Small pixel sizes of 5 µm and 7 µm enable shorter sensor lengths, allowing a more compact design and the use of standardised M42 and F-mount lenses. The camera delivers best results at high speeds thanks to the high sensitivity of the sensor. Read more ›

Teledyne e2v announces the expansion of its Flash™ CMOS image sensor family, with the introduction of Flash 2K LSA, which has been specifically adapted for laser profiling applications requiring the use of a Large Scheimpflug Angle (LSA).

Teledyne e2v’s Flash family of CMOS image sensors are specifically tailored for 3D laser profiling/displacement applications and high speed/high resolution inspection. Flash 2K LSA is a derivative of the popular Flash 2K sensor for applications requiring large Scheimpflug angles, with an angular response that has been multiplied more than four times for 30° angles and more than seven times for 40° angles.

Teledyne e2v announces Topaz5D™, a full-HD CMOS image sensor designed to combine 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth maps. A single Topaz5D sensor used in challenging lighting conditions delivers 3D object visualisation based on the contrast detected, ideal for various logistics applications, AR/VR headsets, access control devices, household vacuum robots, and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).
Topaz5D combines a small 2.5 µm global shutter pixel with a post-processing diffraction layer to create angular sensitive pixels. This enables 3D angular signal raw data to be generated and then processed by a 5D compatible SDK. Read more ›

Our special polarized ring light will remove the reflections normally caused by a ring light on the product. This ring light has a polarizer in front of the LEDS and a polarizer that is 90 degree turned in front of the lensmount. This prevents direct reflections from the LED’s of the ring light into the camera. Please note that by filtering out the direct reflected light, a lot of light intensity is lost. Depending on your product you could expect an exposure time that is at least 2x longer, but in some situations also 5-10 times longer. For stationary inspection it’s a perfect solution. Read more ›

The NRU-150-FT series is a compact, fanless edge AI computer incorporating Jetson Orin NX and independent 2.5GbE PoE+ or USB 3 camera connectivity.
