Imaging & vision at Photonex 2011

The UK's number one event for scientific & industrial
imaging & vision in the UK

Industrial imaging & machine vision

Discover solutions to the problems in your day-to-day work and to find out how to increase the reliability of your processes using vision technologies.

See cutting edge advances in industrial vision and machine vision will be on show. Great components and effective system integration is essential to the development of a successful vision system for your process.

There will also be a number of companies showing their approach to IR imaging. Defence applications will be shown alongside process applications such as unwanted hot spot in electronic processes and predictive maintenance.

High speed imaging

A cluster of companies providing ‘high speed imaging’ will show cameras and equipment for fast events finding applications in machine vision and the automotive industry. Scientists are capturing images for a variety of applications, using a variety of techniques for high-speed image capture in life sciences too.

Scientific imaging

Scientific digital imaging is our core to the success of life sciences research & development, microscopy systems depend on quality camera technology and speedy image processing.

See EMCCD, iCCD, CCD and just about every camera technology imaginable at Photonex including for applications in:

Low light imaging, spectroscopy, microscopy systems, time-resolved cameras, x-ray cameras, spectral imaging, FISH imaging, fluorescence imaging, fluorescent speckle microscopy, GFP Imaging, ion imaging, sequential color imaging, single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) imaging, TIRF microscopy, etc.

Software tools for 3D machine vision – how to select the right method An overview of the main 3D techniques including multi-camera imaging, sheet-of-light, depth from focus, photometric stereo, surface based matching, pose and contours and time of flight. Simon Hickman, Multipix Imaging Ltd

3D Imaging In Action Live demo of a 3D stereo camera system which uses a Sony Smart camera and a GigE camera to anaylse parts on a rotating table. Paul Wilson, Scorpion Vision

Structured lasers as an aid to machine vision A brief overview of the role of structured light lasers when used with cameras for profile assessment of objects with different characteristics. Raf Slotwinski & Tony Wright, Alrad Imaging

The challenges of lighting Too little, too much, the wrong kind. An application centred presentation dealing with the challenges of lighting in machine vision. Simon Steele, Leuze Electronic

IR and UV camera technology This seminar shows how imaging using light from outside the normal visible spectrum provides different but complementary information. The performance of conventional camera sensors in the UV and IR will be discussed leading to the need for different sensor materials and architectures. Practical application examples of imaging in the UV and IR will be given, finishing with a look into the crystal ball of future developments. Chris Baldwin, Stemmer Imaging

Hyper spectral Imaging This seminar explores the journey of the photon and seeing the invisible. Dr John R Gilchrist, Gilden Photonics in association with the Hyper-spectral Centre at University of Strathclyde
