A European symposium on "Lasers, optics and vision for productivity in manufacturing" will be held in Besançon, France, on 10-14 June 1996. The symposium, part of the EUROPTO series of conferences, is being sponsored by ESSILOR, the University of Franche-Comté (Besançon), the European Optical Society, the International Society for Optical Engineering and the Directorate General for Science, Research and Development (DG XII) of the European Commission.

The application of optical methods and techniques has led to a rapid evolution of products and technologies, as well as increased industrial productivity. The symposium is designed to inform the optics community about recent scientific progress and new perspectives in the areas of micro-optics, micro-measurement, high-power lasers and applications, image processing and automatic vision systems.

Plenary keynote speeches will be given on the following topics:

- A suite of optical filters for general-purpose machine vision;
- Coherence multiplexing and applications to distribute micro-sensors and integrated optics;
- Digital light processing and micro-mechanical systems: reflecting the digital display needs of the network society;
- Micro-measurements: a challenge for photomechanics.

A one day tutorial will also be given, covering the principles of morphological image processing, including filtering and segmentation techniques, and applications in various fields of image processing.
