[Automation and Robotics] [EU] Exploratory group starts work on Embedded Camera API Standard

&&&start
The European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), the leading European industry association dedicated to vision technology, and The Khronos Group, an open consortium creating graphics and compute interoperability standards, have jointly announced the formation of an Embedded Camera API Exploratory Group, open to all at no cost, to explore industry interest in the creation of open royalty-free API standards for controlling embedded cameras and sensors.

All participants will be able to discuss use cases and requirements for new interoperability standards to accelerate market growth and reduce development costs in embedded markets using vision and sensor processing and associated acceleration.

If the Exploratory Group reaches significant consensus then EMVA and Khronos will work to initiate the proposed standardization initiatives at the appropriate organization.

All sensor and camera manufacturers, silicon vendors, and software developers working on vision and sensor processing are invited to participate in this initiative.
