STANDARDS UPDATES: Vision Standards: An Overview of Global and A3 Developments

Standards play a key role in the vision and imaging industry by ensuring interoperability of components, increasing market size, and shortening the time it takes to get new products to market. As the Association for Advancing Automation's (A3's) director of standards development for vision and imaging for the past 10 years, McCurrach has had a key role in leading global standards development during a very active time in this space. He provides his insights on this activity, showing the enormous efforts of standards developers in expanding the vision market, especially in light of COVID-19 restrictions. McCurrach also shares the latest developments in A3's vision and imaging standards, focusing on Camera Link HS and USB3 Vision.
