Holistic vision seminars at show

The regular series of free seminars organised by UKIVA at IPOT (14-15 February, 2007, NEC, Birmingham, UK) will be taking on a Holistic Vision theme.

The regular series of free seminars organised by UKIVA at IPOT (14-15 February, 2007, NEC, Birmingham, UK) will be taking on a rather different theme.

This time, the seminars will focus on 'Holistic Vision' and they will concentrate on the totality of solving problems with vision, including optics and lighting, as well as cameras and software and other components.

UKIVA Director, Don Braggins, said: "Our seminars in the past have been extremely well received, but have often concentrated on one particular aspect of vision, such as a particular type of camera, or an interface standard or a lighting arrangement.

Solving vision problems in an industrial or scientific environment requires every aspect of vision to be considered.

This ranges from the illumination, image acquisition, processing and measurement, through to the outcome of the process, whether in the form of a signal sent to a reject mechanism or an alert to a production operator or a printed report.

"These new seminars will highlight the importance of all the different facets of vision", he continued, "and will show that in many applications, a particular component may be the essential key to solving the problem, while in others, each part of the system is of equal importance.

Seminar contributors include Alrad Imaging, Firstsight Vision, FLIR Systems and MVD, as well as the Vision Academy.

Intriguing seminar titles include "Network centric vision systems", "Now you see it..

and "Building Vision systems".

The seminar will run on both days of the exhibition, and, as usual, places can be booked in advance on- line, or by e-mailing jennie@ukiva.org.

Booking in advance also secures a CD containing all of the presentations.

Full details of the seminar programme can be found on the UKIVA web site.
