Expectations are that during the year 2009, in every second more than 30 solid-state image sensors will be produced world-wide. Soon our world will see more cameras than people. No doubt: Electronic imaging is omnipresent! Whether in cell phones or in laptops, in still-picture or in video cameras, in game consoles or in toys, for scientific imaging or for artistic documentation, for biomedical diagnoses or for industrial production, for business or for entertainment: Solid-state image sensors are indispensable tools for almost any human activity in everyday life. In the past decade, electronic cameras have become a commodity, and the cheapest ones cost just a few euros. Often, however, their performance leaves much to be desired, and it is far from what is possible with optimized CCD and CIS (CMOS Image Sensor) processes, advanced design techniques and clever pixel designs.
This conference is devoted to today’s most relevant and most promising fields of electronic imaging: Application-specific image sensors (using smart pixels and related approaches), high-performance real-time 3D imaging, electronic imaging with novel materials and single-photon, solid-state image sensing.
We all know that the results of yesterday’s hero experiments in the research lab will find their way into today’s industrial production and quality inspection lines, and tomorrow we will encounter them in household items. For this reason, this conference addresses all involved stakeholders: Scientists and engineers in electronic imaging R&D, users of imaging solutions who demand the highest performance from their equipment for their particular application, interested professionals from all segments of academia and industry where imaging is significant, and all technically-oriented persons who would like to know where electronic imaging is heading.
Let us all explore the Frontiers in Electronic Imaging together!
