Sales of thermography units rose by 426 per cent from 2019 to 2020, according to the European Photonics Industry Consortium. Chinese market share increased from 15 to 63 per cent
The partnership between the European Machine Vision Association and the European Photonics Industry Consortium will bring together their respective members
Photonics applications are emerging in farms, such as the use of UAVs for monitoring soil and crop health or water supply quality. The purpose is to discuss with end-users opportunities in this sector for lidar, hyperspectral imaging, laser systems or fiber sensors.
Future endoscopic cameras will integrate Raman, OCT and broad field of view hyperspectral cameras. The meeting will discuss the challenges in the integration of biocompatible microoptics, specialty fibres and detectors with the medical system integrators.
The impact of lidar in automotive has been replicated by the application of structured light approaches in machine and computer vision systems. The ultimate paradigm shift is restore vision to the blind. A discussion between photonics hardware, software and users is needed.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together the full value chain in hyperspectral imaging hardware and its use in several application fields. Attendees will discuss about potential collaboration towards the use of thin-film filters, fast scanning or miniaturization of camera systems.
Attendees will discuss about potential business opportunities in the photonic supply chain in the field tomographic imaging. Topics discussed will include optical coherence tomography (OCT), Raman spectroscopy, hyperspectral and diffuse reflectance imaging or fluorescence imaging.
Advances in sensors that capture images like real eyes, plus in the software and hardware to process them, are bringing a paradigm shift in imaging, finds Andrei Mihai
