GenICam (abbreviated for Generic Interface for Cameras) is a generic programming interface for machine vision (industrial) cameras. The goal of the standard is to decouple industrial camera interfaces technology (such as GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, CoaXPress or Camera Link) from the user application programming interface (API). GenICam is administered by the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA). The work on the standard began in 2003 and the first module in GenICam, i.e., GenApi, was ratified in 2006 whereas the final module, i.e., GenTL was ratified in 2008.

Many companies in the machine vision industry have contributed to the standard. The main companies involved in drafting the GenICam standards are: Adimec Allied Vision Technologies Balluff (formerly known as MATRIX VISION GmbH which Balluff acquired in 2017) Basler AG Baumer DALSA e2v semiconductors Teledyne FLIR (formerly known as Point Grey Research Inc. which FLIR Systems Inc. acquired in 2016) JAI A/S Leutron Vision LUCID Vision Labs Matrox Imaging MVTec Software National Instruments Pleora Stemmer Imaging OMRON Sentech
