Machine vision organizations to smooth creation of standards

Stuttgart, Germany--During the VISION 2012 show the three major international machine vision associations--EMVA, AIA, and JIIA--announced that they have established a joint initiative, the Future Standards Forum (FSF).

Stuttgart, Germany--During the VISION 2012 show the three major international machine vision associations--EMVA, AIA, and JIIA--announced that they have established a joint initiative, the Future Standards Forum (FSF). The Forum is intended to provide proactive, strategic guidance to the development of industry standards and minimize the creation of conflicting standards within the machine vision industry and in neighboring industries.

The FSF will investigate opportunities offered by new technologies and identify future challenges, and provide recommendations for new standards and the evolution of existing standards. White papers and trade show presentations will be used to drive industry awareness and the FSF will also regularly invite people to join working groups that are established to investigate a certain subject.

The three associations are already in the process of launching the first working groups, one of which will start working on the roadmap of interface standards that are already hosted by one or more of the associations or currently under development. Another working group will focus on lighting standards.

During the show, the AIA released the final draft of the USB3 Vision camera interface standard to the AIA USB3 Vision Standard Coordinating Committee. The committee members will review and provide any final modifications needed before the standard is released to the public before the end of this year.

This new camera interface standard is based on the USB 3.0 interface (SuperSpeed USB) and was developed specifically for the global vision and imaging market. USB3 Vision offers bandwidth of 350 MB/s with both power and data over the same cable. USB3 Vision, like GigE Vision, does not require a frame grabber. The standard will give users plug and play capability using components from different manufacturers.
