Ann Arbor, MI--This year's Vision Show will take place in Boston, MA, from May 8–10, 2012. A vision and imaging trade show and conference founded by the AIA, the Vision Show provides vision users, system integrators, machine builders, and OEMs with access to the latest vision and imaging technologies and applications from nearly 100 manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers worldwide.
The accompanying conference features in-depth tutorials and sessions on topics such as the fundamentals of machine vision, lighting and optics, camera and image sensor technology, 3-D vision techniques, designing vision systems, advances in color vision, metrology and 2-D calibration techniques, non-visible imaging, etc. AIA’s Certified Vision Professional program classes and exams (both CVP-Basic and CVP-Advanced) will be available, offering four industry courses:
• Machine Vision for the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Biometrics & Lab Automation Industries
• Machine Vision for the Food & Beverage, Packaging, Consumer Goods, and Pharmaceutical Packaging Industries

• Machine Vision for the Automotive, Aerospace and General Manufacturing
On Tuesday, May 8, the keynote address, Cameras in Consumer Electronics – What Does the Future Hold, will be delivered by Leo Baldwin, president of Functional Photonics (Cupertino, CA). Baldwin—whose experience includes design in industries such as nuclear and solar energy, defense/military, and electronics—will explore the use of cameras in modern devices and what is needed in the future.
Dana Whalls, AIA vice president, notes that this year's show is already close to selling out and early indications show a great response from attendees, with both show and conference registrations coming in ahead of projections.
