About Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging (COSI)

The mission of the Topical Meeting on Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging is

to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for fundamental analysis of interfaces between analog optical signals and digital information;
to develop a multidisciplinary community covering optical and electro-optical components and systems, embedded processing, algorithms and applications for digital optical sensing, imaging and spectroscopy;
to develop and promote integrated optical, electronic and algorithmic design of optical systems; and
to facilitate optical solutions to challenges in biomedical sensors, digital imaging and digital video, national defense and homeland security, automated control systems, integrated spectroscopic sensors, robotics and human-computer interaction.

Example topics:

Wavefront coding
Light field sensing
Compressive optical sensing
Tomographic imaging
Structured illumination imaging
Digital holography
SAR
Lensless imaging
Point spread function engineering
Digital/optical superresolution
Unusual form-factor cameras
Synthetic aperture optical systems, etc.
