Cutting-Edge CMOS Sensor Innovations Driving Machine Vision Excellence

Advancements in silicon photonic and micro-optic technologies are driving the need to perform precision alignments down to sub-micrometer levels. As cutting-edge optical and photonic processes demand increasingly smaller, nanometer-scale tolerances, precision motion control is more important than ever. In this 60-minute webinar from the editors of Photonics & Imaging Technology, industry experts will explain how to meet the most demanding needs for precision motion control in optics and photonics applications. Highlights include:

• Challenges and requirements for high-speed machine vision
• Innovations in CMOS image sensor for high-speed, low-noise machine vision
• Trends and future expectations for the market

An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.

Speakers:

Abhinav Agarwal, Manager – Design Engineering, Forza Silicon

Abhinav Agarwal currently serves as a Manager – Design Engineering with Forza Silicon (AMETEK Inc.) and was instrumental in establishing a Forza India design center in Bangalore. He is a technical lead for various CMOS image sensors chips designed at Forza Silicon in applications ranging from cinematography to automotive to biomedical.
