Photonics Innovators are Finalists for 2014 Prism Awards
Light-based products that detect hidden explosives or drugs, hyperspectrally image potential ground threats from the air, and push the boundaries of scientific exploration are among the finalists for the 2014 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation, an annual competition sponsored by SPIE and Photonics Media recognizing new products and inventions that break with conventional ideas, solve problems and improve life. “These new products can improve our ability to diagnose cancer without invading the body, navigate our world with more accurate GPS systems, save money and resources with more efficient solar energy generation, and advance the manufacturing revolution with the ability to print even microsized parts using 3-D printers — and much more," said SPIE CEO Eugene Arthurs.

Color Machine Vision
Matrox Imaging, Div. of Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd.
Color machine vision’s increasing popularity can be attributed to the prevalence of digital cameras with color image sensors, the computing power and interfaces necessary to handle data from color images, and the fact that more users are becoming familiar with machine vision technology. These factors combine to make color machine vision an area of mounting interest, which despite its challenges, provides unique benefits to manufacturing control and inspection.
