The Congress and Co-located Meetings

Forming, capturing and computing images: the leading edge of imaging technology is at the Optica Imaging Congress.

Cameras, from smartphones to cars, are ubiquitous in the modern world and provide enormous amounts of data to computing systems that are ever more capable. The congress addresses all aspects of 2-D and 3-D image acquisition, processing and display, imaging through scattering media and turbulence and the application of machine learning to image processing. Presenters will offer the latest in AI applications for image reconstruction and generation. Hardware advances from flat optics to light-ranging technologies enable new form factors and new capabilities. New worlds of experience are created at the forefront of augmented and virtual reality systems. Explore imaging outside the visual spectrum with advances in imaging at THz and X-ray wavelengths at the Optica Imaging Congress.

  • Hear about how machine learning and AI can be used in computational imaging.
  • Learn about the design challenges an new hardware for next generation of miniature imaging sensors.
  • Follow efforts to image in challenging environments, such as biological tissues, turbulent waters and around corners.
  • Understand the new possibilities of flat optics and in real-world imaging systems.
  • See the latest progress in displays for augmented and virtual reality.

The Optica Imaging Congress provides a comprehensive view of the latest developments in imaging and applied optical sciences, covering the forefront advances in imaging and applied optics as well as the application of these technologies to important industrial, military and medical challenges.
