The exchange of information between the commercial sector and the defense and security sectors is more important than ever. This meeting encourages leading researchers and engineers to share emerging technology in sensors, infrared technology, laser systems, spectral imaging, radar, LIDAR, AI/machine learning, and more.
Conference program tracks, topics, and application areas:
MATERIALS AND DEVICES
Single photon sources and detectors, image sensors, spectroscopic instrumentation, energy harvesting systems, and quantum technologies
Applications include low-light imaging, free-space communications, energy generation and storage, cybersecurity and cryptography, time-of-flight imaging, and drone-mounted sensing, imaging and detection
IMAGING AND ANALYTICS
Spectral imaging technologies and algorithms; big data, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI); point cloud processing, 3D imaging and vision, and computational image processing
Applications include homeland security and defense; target detection, recognition, and tracking; optical metrology and inspection; augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR); 3D displays; and geospatial informatics
ADVANCED SENSING AND IMAGING
Infrared (IR) detectors, sensors, optics and imaging systems; radar; LiDAR; millimeter-wave and terahertz (THz) imaging systems; x-ray imaging systems; and optical waveguides and laser sensors
Applications include surveillance; guidance systems; handheld and body-mounted imagers; anomaly detection; navigation and targeting; leak detection; environmental monitoring; and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous systems
NEXT GENERATION SENSOR SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
