(AIA: Ann Arbor, MI) --  Individuals can now attain certification as a machine vision professional (basic level) through a new program launched by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA), the world’s largest machine vision trade association.

To earn certified vision professional status, individuals need to pass a test based on the basic tutorial programs that AIA offers in the fundamentals of machine vision, beginning lighting and optics, basic vision software and algorithms, and camera and image sensor technology basics.

The first round of tests will be offered during The Vision Show and Conference in Boston, on May 24–27. Each of the tutorials will be offered during the conference as well.

AIA states that individual certification is the first step toward certification of system integration companies.
