The 2025 Vision Spectra Conference Spotlights Innovation Across Machine Vision
Tracks cover AI, robotics, 3D imaging, cameras, sensors, hyperspectral and SWIR imaging, optics, and illumination.
A series of must-see webcasts on topics ranging from sensors to vision-guided robotics will headline the fifth annual Vision Spectra Conference (VSC). Taking place July 15 to 17, the virtual event features six technology tracks for end users and systems integrators, from industry titans to up-and-coming startups.
Attendees can expect more than 30 presentations in the following tracks: Optics, Filters, and Illumination; Hyperspectral and SWIR Imaging; Cameras, Systems, and Sensors; Vision-Guided Robotics and Logistics; Deep Learning, AI, and Inspection; and 3D Imaging.
VSC 2025 will also feature three keynote speeches from experts in the field. Mathew Pelletier from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will discuss the path to commercializing the Plastic Inspection, Detection, and Ejection system (PIDES) and how it evolved through AI. The Vision Markets team will offer actionable insights into how machine vision businesses can drive long-term growth, and Yole Group will deliver a market analysis of the industry.
The Optics, Filters, and Illumination track will include presentations from Toshiba Teli, CCS, Midwest Optical, and Smart Vision Lights on topics ranging from capturing micro-defects to machine vision lighting. Hamamatsu, an addition to the track for 2025, will present “Translating Infrared Component Performance into Detection and Imaging success.”
Within the Vision-Guided Robotics and Logistics track, discussions will include a presentation from FANUC America on “Robotic Systems in Logistics.”
In this year’s Camera, Systems, and Sensors technology track, companies such as Balluff, Ansys, and LUCID Vision Labs will return to examine IO-Links, RGB-IR sensor exporters, and 10-GigE cameras. Additionally, newcomers such as Northrop Grumman, Pleora, and Teledyne FLIR OEM will cover CMOS sensors, boosting bandwidth, and automatic emergency braking.
The 3D Imaging track is returning this year. Optical Metrology Solutions will cover “Advancements in Methods for 3D Vision Inspection.” The Machine Vision Source and the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology in Taiwan will share advice on practical machine vision as well as hybrid dual-fisheye and depth cameras.
In the conference’s largest section — Hyperspectral and SWIR — Léa Butruille from Headwall Photonics will present a talk on “Multi-Camera Acquisition.” Specim’s Mathieu Marmion, Edmund Optics’ Christopher Razze, and HySpex’s Trond Løke, among others, will also discuss topics within the track, including nondestructive coating inspection, SWIR imaging lenses, and hyperspectral processing in UAVs.
Lastly, the Deep Learning, AI, and Inspection track will focus on topics such as creating platforms for AI and shop floor autonomy. Matthias Kerschhaggl from EVK will speak on “Quantitative Chemical Imaging: How to Bring Your Lab Analysis to the Production Line,” along with MVTec’s Thomas Binder, who will present “Bin Picking with a Combination of Deep Learning and Rules-Based Algorithms.”
