1. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Clear definitions for a clear VISION EMVA 1288 Standard for Measurement and Presentation of Specifications for Machine Vision Sensors and Cameras

2. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Workshop Program oWhy we need 1288  Prof. Bernd Jähne, University Heidelberg oOrganization of 1288 Working group and standard  Martin Wäny, AWAIBA oBasic Information  Dr. Emil Ott PCO oModule 1: Sensitivity, temporal and spatial noise, Dynamic range…  Dr. Fritz Dirks BASLER oModule 2: Linearity and linearity error  Dr. Kari Siren TVI

3. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Motivation oExisting Standards for cameras are not suitable for MV oEach Sensor and Camera Manufacturer has it’s own definitions oThe Customer is left guessing with datasheets L  curve QE-Sensor Illumination = 0 Lux!! = ?

4. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com The 1288 Standardization Working group oFounded in February 2004 oDriven by the industry oUser oriented. „Make the MV Engineers lives easier“ oOpen Working Group

6. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Approach oModular standard framework  New modules are to complete the standard rather than to replace previous versions Module 1 Sensitivity Quantum Efficiency Dynamic Range Spatial and temporal noise (DSNU PRNU) Over all system gain Module 2 Linearity Module 3 Color Module X More to follow The modular approach protects investment in measurement equipment, processes and education

7. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Each Module contains: Mathematical Model Measurement setup Fit the data to the model Data Presentation Happy Customer Clear understanding

8. EMVA 1288 Workshop Vision 2006 M. Wäny www.awaiba.com Current Status & Roadmap oFirst Module Released in Sep 2005 (Sensitivity, SNR) oSecond module (linearity) in Preliminary release. Official release planned in Q1 2007 oVision 2006 show’s many 1288 compliantly characterized products oPreliminary release of third and fourth module (Color & Defects/Artifacts) planned for Q1 2007
