Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging (COSI)

Imaging and Applied Optics



Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging (COSI)

23 - 27 June 2013
Renaissance Arlington Capital View, Arlington, Virginia, USA

COSI meeting consists of topics that range from theoretical to experimental demonstration and verification of the latest advances in computation imaging research. This meeting covers subject matter in fundamental physics, numerical methods and physical hardware that has led to significant improvements in the fields of imaging and sensing for medical, defense, homeland security, inspection, testing applications.

COSI is an important discipline being applied to solve numerous problems in modern optics and the techniques developed in this field have already been incorporated in to numerous commercial products.  This meeting places particular emphasis on integrated analysis of physical layer measurement and digital layer processing. In contrast with the conventional model of a “digital image” as simply a discretely sampled version of an analog image, COSI considers advanced opportunities for image data coding and decoding in optical, electronic and software layers.

Observations on Compressive Imaging and Some Applications, PLENARY
Mark Allen Neifeld, University of Arizona, USA
Abstract: Despite the promise of higher performance and/or lower cost cameras, compressive imaging has not yet seen widespread use in either commercial or military applications. This presentation will discuss some possible reasons (both fundamental and practical) for the observed disconnect. Recent results related to compressive 3D imaging will also be presented.
