International Image Sensor Workshop 2025 First Call for Papers

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
ABSTRACTS DUE DEC 19, 2024
2025 International Image Sensor Workshop Awaji Yumebutai Int. Conf. Center, Hyōgo, Japan
(June 2 - 5, 2025)

The 2025 International Image Sensor Workshop (IISW) provides a biennial opportunity to present innovative work in the area of solid-state image sensors and share new results with the image sensor community. The event is intended for image sensor technologists; in order to encourage attendee interaction and a shared experience, attendance is limited, with strong acceptance preference given to workshop presenters. As is the tradition, the 2025 workshop will emphasize an open exchange of information among participants in an informal, secluded setting beside the Awaji Island in Hyōgo, Japan.

The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of electronic image sensor design and development. In addition to regular oral and poster papers, the workshop will include invited talks and announcement of International Image Sensors Society (IISS) Award winners.

Papers on the following topics are solicited:

Image Sensor Design and Performance
CMOS imagers, CCD imagers, SPAD sensors
