Björn Fix about my lecture at FotoCon:
Dana Diezemann gave an insight into 30 years of digital photography and an outlook on future technologies. She is a specialist in complicated matters, which she explains in her unique way and packs knowledge of four hours into a lecture of 60 minutes. There is no boredom because she knows how to make a dust-dry topic understandable to the participants with humorous comments and simple diagrams.
01/2018 – today | Senior Vision Consultant
(Independent Consultant for Camera Technology and Image Sensors)
Dana Diezemann Camera Consulting, 74232 Abstatt
I build bridges. Between sensor manufacturers and customers. Since January 2018 I am working freelance as a Senior Vision Consultant for manufacturers of automotive, consumer and industrial cameras as well as providers of CMOS image sensors. I bring with passion my wide expertise in the planning, qualification and marketing of products.
Today I test and qualify CMOS image sensors and cameras. Communicate between manufacturers and customers. Support the technical definition, provide training and advice. Recently I am a member of the IEEE P2020 Working Group for the camera quality standard in the automotive sector.
Over the past 30 years, I have been very successful in bringing my experience to the three leading providers of industrial cameras in hardware development, support and product management. In more than 350 held training courses, lectures and coaching sessions, I have inspired many people, taught me a lot of specialist knowledge and got enthusiastic about camera technology.
