Trendspotting Deep learning for machine vision is a topic that has been with us for a long time now and will certainly remain so for a long time to come. The possible applications with the new algorithms are numerous and currently not all are foreseeable. This makes it all the more important to keep up to date with the latest trends. The opportunity for this is offered from 24 to 25 October at the Embedded Vision Europe (www.embedded-vision-emva.org), which is taking place for the second time at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre (right next to the airport). There, the latest technology trends and corresponding applications will be presented in numerous lectures. The conference will be rounded off by an exhibition at which numerous (embedded) vision companies will present their portfolio.

Kind regards
Dr.-Ing. Peter Ebert, Chief Editor inVISION
