Imaging Systems and Applications (IS)
The Imaging Systems and Applications Topical meeting (IS) focuses on the latest advances in the research, design, and engineering of imaging devices and systems used in military, industrial, agricultural, medical and consumer applications.
IS captures the latest advances in light gathering optics, image sensor architectures and technology, on- and off-chip digital image processing and compression techniques. It also covers the integration of the emerging field of flat optics into advanced imaging systems. IS brings together experts from many different scientific and engineering disciplines who contribute to the design and integration of optics, sensors, digital processing and displays in imaging systems.
Presented work will highlight the applications of imaging systems in all areas, including microscopy, remote sensing, photography, spectroscopy, medical devices, consumer products, airborne and astronomical observations and cinematography. Presenters are encouraged to share their experiences related to optimization of imaging systems for these applications.
