Interested companies are now able to apply for the 2014 VISION Award, which recognizes outstanding products or applications in the machine vision industry. The award— which will be given out for the 21sttime at VISION 2014 in Stuttgart—is determined by a jury of machine vision experts who choose the 5,000 Euro prize winner from a pool of submissions for the top innovation of the past two years.
In 2012, the jury selected New Imaging Technologies (NIT) as the winner for its MAGIC 3D stereoscopic vision system. MAGIC 3D vision systems offer real-time high dynamic range stereo vision capabilities suitable for use in industrial safety of automated harvesting applications.
The evaluation criteria for the award includes a formal quality of the submission, a technological description, novelty of the application, degree of innovation, significance within the machine vision industry, and significance for an end user. Submissions must be made in English and the length of the paper must not exceed the specific number of characters (approximately four DIN A4 pages.) In addition, the description of the innovation, including its advantages, relevance, and benefit, are taken into consideration.
Those responsible for judging the awards are as follows:
- Jens Michael Carstensen (Videometer A/S)
- Hermann Tropf (Vision Tools GmbH)
- Martin Wäny (Awaiba Lda.)
- Dieter-Josef Walter (Daimler AG)
- Michael Engel (Vision Components GmbH)
Those interested in applying for the VISION Award are able to do so until July 11.
