The cell phone industry has been the single largest driver of new CMOS image sensor technology for the past ten years—smaller pixels, higher sensitivity, and lower noise—all in a bid to decrease sensor cost and capture ever higher quality still and video imagery for human consumption.

AIA was founded 32 years ago.

The ability to quickly perform repeatable, high accuracy measurements is critical to maximize the performance of many machine vision systems.

Since the inception of industrial machine vision cameras, various camera interfaces have been developed to meet the needs of the camera manufacturers. 

There are often many possible ways to solve a specific vision task. In some cases, the choice of either 2D or 3D vision is obvious, but in other cases both technologies could work though each provides certain benefits.

Three-dimensional imaging is a rapidly expanding segment of the machine vision market.
