New reading material

It’s important to stay current with advances in machine vision, which is presumably why you read this blog, but I’d like to suggest another source of info.

Industrial Photonics magazine launched at the start of the year, and Issue 1 looks pretty good. I was particularly impressed with “3-D Profiling Advances Automation”, which is a pretty meaty piece by Pierantonio Boriero of Matrox.

One swallow does not a summer make, but if the writers and editors can maintain their early standard this will be one of those rare magazines worth reading rather than “filing”.

The others, in my humble opinion, are Photonics Spectra, and of course Vision Systems Design, though the latter seems woefully thin these days.
