orientation in space. Te deep detection range is ideal for acquiring both distance and close- up images. In 2016, the perception camera will be available with CMOS sensors. Te MvBlueGemini smart camera offers
intuitive user guidance, resulting in faster application development. Knowledge of image processing techniques is not necessarily required. A colour and a line scan version are in the development pipeline and will be released in 2016.

Global shutter CMOS will be tomorrow’s sensor technology, providing outstanding performance and picture quality in terms of pixel resolution, frame rate, sensitivity and noise reduction. MaxxVision will continue to extend its camera portfolio with new and upcoming CMOS sensor generations like the Sony Pregius. From 2015 until the middle of 2016, various new USB 3.0 and GigE Vision cameras with resolutions from 2.4 megapixels to 12.0 megapixels will be introduced to the market. To meet the various requirements regarding
resolutions and sensor sizes, MaxxVision will continue to extend its lens portfolio. As a major supplier of machine vision components, adapting the comprehensive product range to changing market conditions will remain a key challenge for the next few years. With a growing number of partners in
camera and lens technology behind it, MaxxVision is able to realise complete

Moving into 2016, Matrox Imaging anticipates the launch of new hardware as well as important soſtware enhancements. A new smart camera will be introduced that will be even smaller, faster and less expensive than the Iris GT model. Matrox Design Assistant flowchart-based machine vision soſtware will be updated to release 4.1 to support the new smart camera and to add new features to improve developer productivity. A new version of the Radient eV-CXP
frame grabber, designed for 3D profiling applications, will be offered. Its on-board
customised solutions, combining components that are selected and matched according to specific customer requirements.

Tis autumn, Microscan will take advanced barcode reading capability and fit it into a micro package that is easy for an operator to set up and use. Users will have the flexibility to virtually customise any device for a specific application while keeping the same size, form- factor, and user interface. Te user interface offers web browser-based
processing will offload the critical ‘peak detection’ function from the host CPU to provide a dependable, cost-effective, high-performance solution that works in conjunction with high frame rate CoaXPress cameras. A new processing pack will be added to Matrox’s flagship vision soſtware, Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), which will include new OCR, 3D imaging and shape-matching tools. Experimentation and prototyping will be facilitated with a new interactive tool.

Statement from Dr Olaf Munkelt, managing director of MVTec Software: ‘Machine vision trends, in MVTec’s view, are 3D-based technologies, identification processes (OCR), and the further integration of machine vision and automation technology. Tey also include continuous usability improvements in order to make machine vision accessible to additional user groups. ‘Machine vision technologies are penetrating
more and more industrial automation applications and thereby address a wider group of users. With the soſtware package Merlic, MVTec is already enabling users to implement professional applications, even if they don’t have in-depth programming skills or an extensive knowledge of imaging. ‘It is also becoming apparent that machine
vision methods increasingly support automated production processes in a wider range of industrial sectors, from determining
