Automated Imaging Association

The Automated Imaging Association (AIA), the vision and imaging industry’s trade association, has released the new USB3 vision camera interface standard and it is now available for free download on the AIA website. This easy-to-use standard is based on the prevalent USB 3.0 consumer hardware already in use. The AIA says vision component manufacturers have embraced the standard and are expected to widely adopt it; many components are already selling today. Based on the USB 3.0 interface (SuperSpeed USB), USB

The USB3 Vision specification, the result of many months of collaboration between some of the machine vision industry's leading technology companies, has been successfully ratified by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) and members of the USB3 Vision Technical Committee. The aim of the standard is to enable interoperability between USB 3.0 imaging components such as cameras, accessories and software. Like the popular GigE Vision standard, USB3 Vision will provide a framework for transmitting high-speed

The Future Standards Forum (FSF), a joint initiative by European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), Automated Imaging Association (AIA) and Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA), has been set up to provide proactive, strategic guidance to the development of industry standards and to minimise the creation of conflicting standards within the machine vision industry and in related industries. The FSF believes the machine vision industry is a knowledge driven industry which experiences an ever increasing
