Ukiva broadens its remit
The UK Industrial Vision Association (Ukiva) is broadening its remit to welcome members who deal in imaging techniques other than the traditional visible light/camera combinations
This is in recognition of the fact that other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum such as infra-red and X-rays are now being applied to industrial vision tasks Ukiva director Don Braggins explains: "At its inception in 1992, the founders of the Ukiva were of the general opinion that industrial vision meant the automatic (not human assisted) interpretation of video images

Ukiva vision seminars take a 'holistic' approach
The regular series of free seminars organised by Ukiva at Ipot (14-15 February 2007, NEC Birmingham, UK) will be taking on a rather different theme
"The fact that it is now possible that the video images come from 'invisible' imaging sources such as infra-red and X-rays in industrial applications still fits in perfectly with that view.
"We are therefore broadening our horizons without detracting from founders' basic aims.
"Indeed, we also know that people who seek information from the association about industrial vision expect to find out about any kind of imaging that industry needs".
To reflect this broader approach, the association has now incorporated the strapline Imaging for Industry into its logo, and is actively encouraging companies involved in any kind of imaging technique used in industrial applications to become members.
This would include companies specialising in industrial applications of imaging from anywhere in the electromagnetic spectrum or other adaptations of imaging such as high speed video.
