Image sensors workshop at IEEE Sensors 2025

A workshop titled "Future CMOS Image Sensors for AI Era – AI or not" will be held alongside IEEE Sensors 2025 in Vancouver, Canada on Sunday Oct 19, 2025.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. In particular, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are expected to merge with CMOS Image Sensors (CISs), which, soon, will open up a new era of smart, adaptive, and autonomous systems in various consumer electronics, such as smartphones, automotive technology, and augmented/virtual reality glasses.

Future CMOS Image Sensors for AI Era – AI or not
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. In particular, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are expected to merge with CMOS Image Sensors (CISs), which, soon, will open up a new era of smart, adaptive, and autonomous systems in various consumer electronics, such as smartphones, automotive technology, and augmented/virtual reality glasses.   

This workshop will focus on the future CISs that incorporate state-of-the-art computational image sensor processors (ISPs). These capabilities have evolved from traditional computation to DNNs in the AI era. Industry leaders and academic researchers will present invited talks covering two major topics: 
1. Trends in CISs technology focused on computation, including neural networks for future applications and associated software.
2. Sensor technologies and ISPs designed for the AI era, and Sensor simulations tailored for future CISs

We believe this workshop will pave the way for advancements in future imaging and sensing technology.   We encourage all attendees of the IEEE SENSORS 2025 conference to engage in discussions about "Future CMOS Image Sensors for AI Era – AI or not".

  1. Very interested in the talks by Johannes, Seokho and Brian. Would a video recording of the workshop be published later on?

    1. There is no plan for a video recording. IEEE SENSORS is only an in-person conference.

    2. 21 century still like mid of 20

    4. This has nothing to do with being antiquated. This is a conference organized by IEEE that aims to a) create a networking platform - so if everyone just starts consuming content remotely this falls flat; b) IEEE is a community oriented non-for-profit, but nonetheless they're using the income of these events to cover cost of salaries, sponsoring student travel grants, IT and publishing backbone etc. - the money needs to come from somewhere. Realistically, if you don't want to spend time/money to attend the event - you can always read publications. Anything actually novel that would be presented at such workshops will have been published or will be published later down the road. You pay for the convenience of a curated overview and the opportunity to talk to the experts. Don't expect handouts - if you're cheap, you'll have to do the leg work yourself and stop complaining ;-)

    5. But, but, but... What about the carbon emissions, climate change, ecological impact (especially in exotic but fragile areas where some conferences are held)?

  2. President Trump said "climate change is the greatest con job ever perpetrated in the world"
