This webcast will cover an event-based camera for high-speed imaging, multi-shot lighting, and using the MTF of lenses for vision system design
Imaging systems are becoming ubiquitous in modern technology; camera-lens systems are almost everywhere you look. From smartphones to self-driving cars, our world is filled with computers that rely on machine vision to record, observe, and analyse their surroundings. The number of applications is continuously expanding and their needs are wide and varied. Due to the increasingly demanding performance requirements of these machine vision systems, there is almost always a need for more resolution.
Dr Thomas Kessler has announced he will step down as CEO of Jos. Schneider Optische Werke at the end of 2019
Tamron, a manufacturer of industrial optics, has launched a 6mm wide-angle lens in its series of fixed-focal lenses, the M112FM
Integrating a single liquid lens into an imaging assembly can produce extremely flexible machine vision systems capable of rapidly changing their focus in milliseconds. Find out more about the different types of liquid lenses available and understand the benefits of liquid lens integration.

Greg Blackman spoke to the EMVA’s Arnaud Darmont about plans to establish a standard for embedded vision products
Machine vision industry bodies have begun the first steps to define a standard interface for lenses. Imaging and Machine Vision Europe speaks to EMVA's Arnaud Darmont about plans for the standard
Technology that advances 3D imaging, makes lenses more resistant to vibration, turns a CMOS camera virtually into a CCD, and makes SWIR imaging less expensive, are all innovations shortlisted for this year’s Vision Award, to be presented at the Vision show in Stuttgart
The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) curve is an information-dense metric that reflects how a lens reproduces contrast as spatial frequency (resolution) varies. MTF curves can be used to compare the performance of multiple lenses and can help determine if an application is actually feasible with the respective lens.
