3D Sensing Forum at ISSCC 2011

There is "Image Sensors for 3d Capture" forum at ISSCC 2011 (F5 in the Advance Program). The forum has attracted a number of well-known speakers:

Review of Optical 3D Ranging Techniques and Key Design Challenges for Required Image Sensors
Peter Seitz, CSEM, Landquart, Switzerland

3D Time-of-Flight Image Capture with Pulsed Illumination
Pierre Magnan, ISAE, Toulouse, France

3D Time-of-Flight Image Capture Using Quantum Efficiency Modulation (I've heard this presentation would be removed from the final program, unfortunately)
Cyrus Bamji, Canesta, Sunnyvale, CA

3D ToF Image Capture with Drift Field Pixel Structures
Bernhard Buettgen, MESA Imaging, Zurich, Switzerland

3D Time-of-Flight Image Capture Based on SPADs
Edoardo Charbon, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands

High-Speed 3D Image Capture Using 1D Structured Light
Shingo Mandai, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

Single-Chip Stereo Vision Cameras
Ralph Etienne-Cummings, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

Multi-Aperture Image Sensor for 3D Capture
Keith Fife, Ubixum, Palo Alto, CA

Update: J.S. just sent me the updated program where Canesta place was changed to another presentation (Thanks J.S.!):

Arrays of Angle-Sensitive Pixels in Standard CMOS for 3D Light-Field Capture
Alyosha Molnar (Cornell Univ, USA)

The updated program is here:

  1. Nice line up! Too bad about Canesta (Microsoft).

  2. no presentation from Samsung???

  3. Maybe at 2011 IISW. We'll see if our Samsung paper gets accepted. There were over a hundred abstracts received.

  4. Do you really think that such TOF 3D can be commercialized in consumer applications?

  5. This week there is also a 3D Symposium taking place in Trento (Italy) organized by David Stoppa. Too bad that this coincides with the Electronic Imaging and Photonics West in San Francisco.

  6. Do you mean this one:

  7. Is the Samsung 3D approach using passive stereo?

  8. 100 abstracts. This will be the best IISW yet. Innovation does not seem to be slowing down.

  9. At Samsung the tradition is to catch up and take over. The submitted paper is on 3D TOF progress. No world records involved, yet. If you want to see a nice S.O.A. 3D TOF paper, look at Stoppa's Jan 2011 JSSC paper. I thought it was a WKA-class paper.

  10. Eric, how many papers (more or less) will be presented at IISW?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Prof. Kawahito has said he expects something similar to the 2007 IISW (88 papers selected from 110 submissions). It will depend on the program committee's paper selection process and how the program fits together.

    It is good to have a workshop where nearly every attendee has something interesting to publicly contribute. Quite different from IEDM or ISSCC.

    This will be 25th anniversary of this workshop series which started in 1986. Hard to believe.

  12. It should nice to make a graph tracing the solid state image sensor characteristics such as pixel size, SNR, DR, frame rate, etc ... !

  13. Maybe we should ask Eric to give us such an overview. For sure he is one of the few people who attended all the workshops.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yes, I think we should ask Eric to do so.
    I am proud to say I have attended most of the workshops, including the very first one in 1986. It is hard to believe it has been 25 years. I guess this means that we are or rather I am getting old!

  15. To Sayed : the alternative of not getting old is not really that attractive ....

  16. you mean simply "die young" :)

  17. What happened to the Ubixum paper ... was it pulled from the conference as I can't find it on the IEEE website?
