In a talk during Industrial Vision Days, Vlad Tucakov from Point Grey Research describes the choices available among interface standards, future requirements, and the advantages and drawbacks of next-generation interfaces.; camera interfaces; point grey research; vision systems design; At the International Machine Vision Standards booth, Christoph Zierl from MVTec Software demonstrates how the GigE Vision standard enables different cameras and software programs to work together.; GigE Vision standard; MVTec Software; vision systems design; At the International Machine Vision Standards booth, Vincent Rowley from Pleora Technologies describes the latest version of the GigE Vision standard and some of the new classes of products that it enables.; GigE Vision; Pleora Technologies; vision systems design; Jeff Fryman, director of standards development at the AIA, demonstrates the validation framework for GigE Vision. Manufacturers must submit their products for testing to ensure compliance with the standard.; GigE Vision compliance; vision systems design; At the International Machine Vision Standards booth, Eric Carey from DALSA shows how GenICam over Camera Link makes it easier to control serial camera and frame grabber graphical user interfaces.; camera link; GenICam; vision systems design; Uwe Artmann from Image Engineering discusses the work of the EMVA 1288 standard group to develop common descriptions of camera parameters such as QE and noise so that cameras may be compared to meet specific needs.; EMVA 1288; international machine vision standards; vision systems design; The AIA, EMVA, and JIIA have agreed to cooperatively develop and promote global machine-vision standards. The groups hope to create a global process that emphasizes openness, transparency, and fairness.; AIA; EMVA; JIIA; machine vision standards; vision systems design; Dr. Olaf Munkelt, managing director of MVTec Software and chairman of the VDMA Machine Vision Group, reviews the state of the global machine vision market during the past year and identifies regions of growth.; machine vision; MVTec Software; VDMA; vision systems design; Paul Kellett, director of market analysis for the Automated Imaging Association, foresees a modest recovery in the machine vision market by mid-2010, and opportunities in manufacturing related to new energy sources.; automated imaging association; vision 2009; vision market; vision systems design; Vision Systems Design editor-in-chief Conard Holton provides an overview of what to expect for coverage of this year's VISION trade show and exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany -- right from the show floor.; camera link standard; vision 2009 show; vision systems design; Videos brought to you by Vision Systems Design
