About Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging

The COSI topical meeting should be attended by all interested in the fundamental physics, numerical methods and physical hardware that advance the fields of imaging and sensing. This has applications in medical, defense, homeland security, inspection, testing, etc.

Topics to be Covered

• System analysis
• Information theory and comparative sensor systems analysis
• Systems metrics
• Radiation fields and structured illumination
• Coherence, spectra and polarization
• Geometric analysis, spaces and computer vision
• Biological systems and biological analogies
• Smart cameras
• Components
• Optical elements
• Wavefront sensing and control systems
• Optoelectronics
• Active illumination
• Detectors and focal plane arrays
• Optoelectronic processing
• Algorithms, embedded processing, compression and communications
• Approximation methods, sampling, bases and frames
• Sparse or compressive coding
• Inverse problems
• Adaptive systems
• Sensor networks and communications
  
• Applications
• Biomedical diagnostics, including imaging and spectroscopic instruments
• Computational photography
• Security, defense and tracking systems
• Human-computer interaction and robotic sensors
• Machine vision and automated control systems

Due to increasing delays in securing visas to the US, we strongly encourage international attendees to begin this process as early as possible (but no later than three months before the meeting) to ensure timely processing. Please refer to the Letters of Invitation section of this website for additional information.
