Khronos and EMVA Collaborate to Gather Requirements for Embedded Camera and Sensor API Standards
Call for Exploratory Group participation to all sensor and camera manufacturers, silicon vendors, and software developers working on vision and sensor processing
Beaverton, OR — February 22, 2021 — Today, The Khronos
Group, an open consortium creating graphics and compute interoperability standards, and the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), the leading European industry association dedicated to vision technology, jointly announce 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 Khronos and EMVA will work to initiate the proposed standardization projects at the appropriate organizations.
