The China Machine Vision Union (CMVU) has joined the G3 Standardization Initiative, which promotes machine vision standards globally, as the group’s fifth member. The other members are:

  • AIA-Advancing Vision + Imaging (AIA)
  • European Machine Vision Association (EMVA)
  • Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA)
  • VDMA Machine Vision (VDMA MV)

The G3 Standardization Initiative’s mission is cooperation on global vision standards and expanding the use of vision and imaging technologies throughout the manufacturing industry. Developing a uniform set of standards are designed to cut down on development time, investment costs, and also accelerate time-to-market. The CMVU’s addition as a partner to the G3 will allow the group to promote their initiatives in an economy that has a large industrialized base.

The G3 Standardization Initiative has also published their "Global Machine Vision Interface Standards" brochure. The brochure is designed to provide vision users with a comprehensive reference that describes what digital interface hardware and software standards as well as a comparison between the various standards.
