Some engineers love standards. They get
all excited about reading them, and positively orgasmic when offered
the chance to be on a standards committee.
Me, I’m not so interested. I get that
standards are important, and I understand that my work is much easier
as a result of machine vision standards like GenICam, but I can’t
get excited about them. However, a press release from the European
Machine Vision Association (EMVA) regarding the new GenICam 3.0 was
quite interesting. Subtitled, “3D
machine vision made easy,” this explains how EMVA
has standardized interfaces for 3D cameras in the same way as 2D
cameras have been standardized for some years.
This is good news. As vision engineers
have been waking up to the possibilities of 3D – and I confess to
being a big fan – we need the cameras to be as close to
‘plug-and-play’ as possible.
Also in the new release, some enhanced
point-cloud capabilities. Learn more by reading the press release.

vision standards like the GenICam should be emulated
Great article
great
Well this is an interesting advancement. i don't like standards too, i just don't get why they are even there. Anyway, as i said, i concur, progress it is!
The best article in history
