| Firstsight Vision Ltd |
Smart - an introduction to Firstsight's range of smart cameras.
These free seminars cover the basics of the setup, configuration and running of a smart system. You will be introduced to the basics of machine vision, the hardware used, an introduction to the system and some real world application experience. As an attendee, you are encouraged to bring actual parts or components, both good and bad for evaluation.
The seminars are free of charge and a buffet lunch will be provided for all attendees. It would be advisable to book promptly, as places will inevitably be at a premium. They generally run from 10am to 4pm and are held on a monthly basis. |

Engineering and Technology Management
Introduction
This programme is intended for engineeers and technologists who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in a number of key areas in strategic and operations management, and also gain knowledge in some of the core and emerging technologies. It is designed to fill the void between specialist technical MScs and MBAs and to provide a holistic view of the operation and management of technology. It aims to provide a strategic, operational and financial framework for an effective application of engineering and technology in order to meet the competitive pressures on industry.
Content
The programme includes taught and core (or specialist) modules, and a dissertation. It has been structured to allow students to specialise in an area of particular interest or relevance to their career, and specialist routes are listed below. The core modules, taught to all students on the programme, explore issues related to strategic, operations and financial management, lean engineering, and research methods. The remainder of the course is made up of specialist technology areas. Students choose to specialise in one of these areas, or pursue a more general route in which any three modules from the available set can be chosen. Core modules
Strategy Formulation and Implementation for Engineers Operations Management and Improvement
Financial Management
Lean Engineering and Decision Support Tools for Continuous Improvement
Research Methods
The following specialist stream is currently available:
Machine Vision and Computer Graphics
Theoretical Concepts in Applied Computer Vision
Computer Vision and Virtual Environments
Virtual Instrumentation and Environments |

| Dublin City University |
EE544 - Postgraduate (Masters). To introduce the student to the theory, applications and techniques of computer and machine vision. To provide students with an understanding of the problems involved in the development and implementation of vision systems. This course will give the student the skills and knowledge to evaluate new vision technologies. This module is available in both online (available on request via RACeE - see URL below) and traditional (available on an annual basis) form.

| Vision Academy |
The Vision Academy is aimed at a large target group. The technical backgrounds of the participants range from complete newcomers to experts. Groups of participants consist of the engineers and skilled workers who conceive and develop the machines that employ Machine Vision, to the maintenance workers and the machine setters who look after and operate the Machine Vision. Training follows a systematic concept, with courses of different levels and content. Usually, participants will go through several levels of training, of increasing complexity, in order to systematically develop practical know-how. This purposeful development of the understanding required enables participants to master the knowledge gained and to practically apply it in the real world of Machine Vision. In addition, it provides them with the background knowledge necessary in the different technologies.
The courses are divided into:->
- An introduction to the technology for beginners and decision makers (half a day)
- Basic course in optics & lighting (one day)
- Basic course in Vision Systems (one day)
- Continuation courses in optics &lighting (two days)
- Continuation courses in Vision Systems (three days)
- Advanced courses (one to three days)
- 2/ 3D measuring using Machine Vision
Machine Vision project work
Communication in Machine Vision systems Reading codes and characters
High-speed processes
Surface inspection
Remote control of Machine Vision and others

| Delft University of Technology |
Annual courses on Pattern Recognition for Industrial Applications. http://www.prtools.org/
The next one will be held in April 2008, in Delft, The Netherlands
The courses are intended for researchers and system designers working in industrial research and development, hospitals, and applied research organisations needing tools for advanced data analysis and/or preparing applications needing the intelligent handling of sensory data.
In the 5-day courses about half of the time is used for lectures and discussions, while in the remaining part the participants will have hands on experience using the PRTools package developed by the teaching staff.
During the past three years people from all over the world participated. It appeared that their various backgrounds (e.g. mining, industrial inspection, agriculture, medical diagnosis, education and governmental research) highly stimulated interesting discussions during the lecturesand the laboratory courses.
